id: CVE-2016-15041

info:
  name: MainWP Dashboard <= 3.1.2 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting
  author: flame
  severity: high
  description: |
    MainWP Dashboard – The Private WordPress Manager for Multiple Website Maintenance plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.1.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in 'mwp_setup_purchase_username' parameter, letting unauthenticated attackers inject and execute arbitrary scripts when users access affected pages.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can inject scripts that execute in users' browsers, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of the plugin that addresses this vulnerability.
