StreamWeasels Kick Integration WordPress Plugin Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the StreamWeasels Kick Integration plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.1.4. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes, particularly the 'data-uuid' attribute. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which are executed when users access the compromised page.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability allows for stored cross-site scripting, where injected scripts are executed in the context of the user viewing the page.

Reproduction

To reproduce this vulnerability, an authenticated user with contributor-level access or higher can inject scripts through the 'data-uuid' attribute. The injected scripts will be executed when the page is accessed by another user.

Remediation

Users are advised to update the StreamWeasels Kick Integration plugin to version 1.1.5 or a newer patched version.
