thomstark vulnerabilities and threats

The Formidable Kinetic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'kinetic_link' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.1.01. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes (notably 'window', 'class', and 'label') in the FrmKinetic::link() function, which are concatenated directly into HTML attributes of an anchor tag. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The File Away plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers, leveraging the use of a reversible weak algorithm, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.

The File Away plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to a missing capability check and missing file type validation in the upload() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
