Summary

The HT Menu WordPress plugin before version 1.2.7 does not perform any capability or object-ownership check when saving navigation menu-item settings, and does not escape those stored settings when the menu is rendered, allowing users with minimal permissions such as Subscribers to store JavaScript that executes in the browser of any visitor, administrators included, who views the affected menu.

Risk Assessment

Risk includes session hijacking of administrators, data theft, defacement, and malware distribution to visitors.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to version 1.2.7 or later. Restrict user permissions to edit menus and apply the principle of least privilege.
