Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads <= 2.8.11 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.8.11

Vulnerability type: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.8.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Ad Inserter <= 2.8.16 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Contributor+) Arbitrary Post Content Disclosure via 'data' Shortcode Attribute

Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.8.16

Vulnerability type: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to and including 2.8.16 via the 'data' attribute of the [adinserter] shortcode. This is due to the replace_ai_tags() function processing a {reusable-block-N} tag pattern that calls get_post_field('post_content', N) without verifying the requesting user's capability with current_user_can('read_post'), without restricting the post type to 'wp_block', and without checking the post status. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the full content of arbitrary posts including Private, Draft, Pending, Trashed, and password-protected posts owned by other users, by placing the shortcode in a post they own and previewing it.

Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-2.8.15

Vulnerability type: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL Parameters in iframe Mode in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.15 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Exploitation requires that iframe mode (AI_OPTION_IFRAME) is enabled on at least one ad block displayed on the targeted page, which is a non-default but supported configuration commonly used for AdSense and JavaScript-based ads.
