Technical Analysis

The Branda – White Label & Branding, Free Login Page Customizer WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'mime_types' parameter. Authenticated users with Author-level privileges or above can inject arbitrary web scripts due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 3.4.17.

No patch or official fix is currently documented.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with Author-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable 'mime_types' parameter.
