Technical details

The Broadstreet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping within its administrative settings. An authenticated attacker with administrator-level privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts into the database. These scripts are then executed in the context of any user accessing the affected administrative pages. The vulnerability is specifically exploitable in WordPress multi-site installations or environments where the 'unfiltered_html' capability has been disabled for administrators. A patch appears to have been addressed in changeset 3524817.
