Vulnerabilities
- High 8.8
CVE-2021-34631unauthenticated · needs a click≤ 1.0.18
NewsPlugin <= 1.0.18 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
