Football Pool <= 2.13.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has not been updated on WordPress.org since before this CVE was disclosed; the latest installable version is still vulnerable. If you have the affected software installed, you should uninstall or replace it rather than wait for an update.
Description
The Football Pool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the shouttext POST parameter of the Shoutbox widget in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. When a shoutbox form submission fails the nonce check (or shouttext is empty, or the user is unable to save), the raw POST value is echoed back into a ` element using printf('%s', ...)` with no HTML escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts in the browser of an authenticated victim (Subscriber-level or higher) who is tricked into submitting a crafted POST request to a page that contains the Shoutbox widget.
