Executive brief
The Agile Store Locator plugin for WordPress, which helps businesses display physical locations on a map, contains a security flaw that allows high-privileged users (like site administrators) to inject malicious scripts. In certain configurations, such as WordPress Multisite networks, this could allow a local site administrator to hijack the session of a Super Admin who views the plugin's settings page. This could lead to unauthorized changes across the entire network or the theft of sensitive administrative information.
Technical details
A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Agile Store Locator plugin for WordPress due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'map_style' setting. An attacker with administrative privileges can inject a malicious payload via the 'save_setting' AJAX handler (action: asl_ajax_handler). The payload is stored in the database and subsequently executed in the browser of any user, including Super Admins in a multisite environment, who visits the plugin's settings page (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=asl-settings). This bypasses restrictions even when the 'unfiltered_html' capability is disabled. The issue is fixed in version 1.6.6.
