Category and Taxonomy Meta Fields <= 1.0.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Published Oct 22, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Category and Taxonomy Meta Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'new_meta_name' parameter in the 'wpaft_option_page' function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
