WordPress Hack Me If You Can Plugin Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability Allowing Stored Cross-Site Scripting

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the WordPress plugin 'Hack Me If You Can' versions through 1.2. This vulnerability allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. The issue arises because the plugin does not properly validate requests, enabling attackers to trick users with higher privileges into performing actions that could lead to the injection of malicious scripts.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to perform actions on behalf of users with higher privileges, potentially leading to the injection of malicious scripts that are stored and executed later.
