Cross site scripting (XSS) in the photo-gallery (10Web Photo Gallery) plugin before 1.5.35 for WordPress exists via admin/models/Galleries.php.

CVE-2019-16117

The custom-404-pro plugin before 3.2.8 for WordPress has reflected XSS, a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-14789.

*   Details
*   Reviews
*   Installation
*   Development

Allows users to replace the default 404 page with a custom page from the Pages section in the Admin Panel. Or you can specify a complete URL to redirect on 404.

**Important Note**

Please open issues on Github. I will not be using the WordPress.org support area.

**Features**

*   Full 404 Page Control
*   Record 404 Page Data
*   Custom Page Redirect
*   Custom URL Redirect

**How does it work?**

*   WordPress Page: Choose a custom page from the Admin Panel
*   URL: Enter a custom URL for 404
*   Stats: List of all 404s

*   Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
*   Copy the custom-404-pro folder to the wp-content/plugins directory.
*   Activate from the Plugins Section.

**Why is the 404 custom redirect not working?**

Some users have reported an issue with the Divi theme where the 404 redirect does not work. In such cases, please disable the Divi theme and try again. It’s usually a good practice to start disabling themes/plugins one by one and work your way backward to see what might be causing the issue.

**Why are my plugin preferences not being saved?**

Uninstall the plugin from the Plugins page (important!) and reinstall it. Never remove plugin folders directly from your WordPress installation as this DOES NOT cleanup plugin database tables.

Thank you so much for this brilliant plugin. I am not technically confident, cannot do much by way of coding and get overwhelmed with geek speak. I downloaded this plugin after trying (and failing with) another, and within 10 minutes had my custom 404 page up and running. This has saved me time, energy and stress. Thank you so much. I have just donated something small too to support you in your work and creativity.

На мой взгляд, это лучшее и простое дополнение для перенаправления! Перенаправляет даже с «закрытой страницы» ?author=1 что другие подобные дополнения делать не могут. Молодец.

ignore this, wrong plugin.

This plugin was working great for us until we adjust the settings to start logging the 404 pages. Then, the custom page we selected in Wordpress for the 404 to route to stops working. Is this a known bug?

Works simple and fine! Congratulations!

Gets the job done in seconds. Super easy to use!

The give plugin before 2.4.7 for WordPress has XSS via a donor name.

**Exploitation Level:** Medium / Remote

**DREAD Score:** 6.6

**Vulnerability:** Stored XSS on an administrative page

**Patched Version:** 2.4.7

​​Give is a WordPress plugin which allows users to setup a donation page on a website. It currently has 60k installs.

​​During a recent audit of the plugin, we found a severe vulnerability which allows donors to inject arbitrary code on an administrative page.

​​If you are using a version lower than **2.4.7,** you should update immediately.

> Note: A forced update was pushed by the developers, and all affected users should now be patched and protected against this vulnerability.

​​When creating a donation, all of the arguments are sanitized as text fields, but this method does not take into consideration where the variables are reflected. Thanks to this oversight, a malicious user can still perform an injection on the donors page after making a donation.

​​Due to the reflection point, the injection can only be seen by users with sufficient permissions to see the donors — this means that a malicious script could do a lot of damage while acting as these users.

****​​Timeline****

*   ​​**2019-05-03**: Initial disclosure to Give
*   ​​**2019-05-07**: Partial patch released (2.4.6)
*   ​​**2019-05-10**: Notified vendor of possible bypasses
*   ​​**2019-05-14**: Complete patch released (2.4.7)
*   **2019-05-21**: Patch pushed to all customers via auto-update

****​​Technical Details****

​​When processing a donation, the plugin recursively sanitizes every POSTed variable using the sanitize\_text\_field method.

​​The function handling the donation form

​​The function recursively cleaning text fields

​​Under this plugin, a **Donation** uses multiple data structures:

*   ​​**Donation**, which contains the donation content itself.

*   **Donor**, which contains the data related to the user performing the donation.

​​​​If the user performing the donation is a guest, meaning this is the first donation using this email, a new donor will be created with the provided information.

​​Donor creation

​​Under the admin panel, you can see either one of the two created entities by the donation: The **Donors** and The **Donations**.

​​Both of these pages are tables where we can see, filter, and modify the data. On the Donors table, few custom attributes are added on tags to facilitate the website interactivity. Among these is the _data-name_ attribute, which has the donor name value. As you can see on the donor creation code, this value is the full name of the donor. This attribute is used on two tags: The row tag and the column checkbox input.

​​The code can be found under _class-donor-table.php:_

​​Injection on the table row tag

​​Injection on the column checkbox

​​The name of our user was sanitized using the _sanitize\_text\_field_ method, which performs the following actions per the WordPress documentation:

*   ​​Checks for invalid UTF-8

*   ​​Converts single < characters to entities

*   ​​Strips all tags

*   ​​Removes line breaks, tabs, and extra whitespace

*   ​​Strips octets

​​You might notice it removes the **_tags_**, but it does not mention being safe as **_attribute._** ​​With that in mind, it is possible to escape the _data-name_ attribute and add an event on the input.

​Having the following name:

_Name " onfocus="alert(document.domain)" autofocus="_

gives us the following HTML on the input injection:

_<input class="donor-selector" type="checkbox" name="donor\[\]" value="1"_ 

  _data-name="Name_ **_"_** 

  **_onfocus="alert(document.domain)"_** 

  **_autofocus=""_** _/>_

Using the autofocus attributes will trigger the onfocus event without user interaction, which can execute malicious code.

**Conclusion**

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a widespread vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious content into a site.

In the case of Stored XSS (as seen with this particular vulnerability), the payload is stored in the site’s database and retrieved with every page request. If left unpatched, it can be very dangerous, as an attacker acting as a donor can obtain complete control of the browser environment.

To protect against this vulnerability, we strongly encourage **Give** users to update to **version 2.4.7** as soon as possible. In the event that you can’t immediately update your plugin, you can leverage the Sucuri Firewall or equivalent technology to virtually patch the vulnerability.

Thanks for this plugin! I really enjoy using the real-time user data. It also helps to find out about 404 errors/links on the site. You are doing great 🙂

I want a real time stats of active users on various pages of my site. But the real time page simply lists the current users and there is a map showing their location. Also, there are setting for date range??? This page could be configured better. Include setting as to what qualifies a active user (such as entered page within the last 15 minutes). Some information presented is useful. Also, stats regarding performance taxing on server would be good. But as it is, I don't think I will keep this over GA4.

Best in-house stats plugin for wordpress I could find and great support. No more sharing my website data with third-parties, like Google Analytics. Highly recommend it.

The plugin has been updated. It downloads and unpacks the GeoLite2 database from Maxmind for WooCommerce website without a hiccup. Thank you for a great tool, essential for planning inventory and blocking gargoyles.

Demasiado brutal, tengo menos de un minuto usándola y ya la amo.

especially since the author renewed the plugin recently. It's got geolocation and browser useragent working. Wonderful

*   \[Update\] Improved handling of our local DNS cache to store hostnames when the option to convert IP addresses is enabled in the settings.
*   \[Fix\] Redirects from the canonical URL to its corresponding nice permalink were being affected by a new feature introduce in version 4.8.7 (thank you, Brookjnk).
*   \[Fix\] The new tracker was throwing a Javascript error when handling events attached to DOM elements without a proper hierarchy (thank , you pollensteyn).
*   \[Fix\] Tracking downloads using third-party solutions like Download Attachments was not working as expected (thank you, damianomalorzo).

*   \[Fix\] A warning message was being returned by the function looking for search keywords in the URL (thank you, Ryan).

**4.8.8**

*   \[New\] Implemented new FingerPrintJs2 library in the tracker. Your visitors are now associated with a unique identifier that does not rely on cookies, IP address or other unreliable information. This will allow Slimstat to produce more accurate results in terms of session lenghts, user patterns and much more.
*   \[New\] Added event handler for ‘beforeunload’, which will allow the tracker to better meausure the time spent by your visitors on each page. This will make our upcoming new charts even more accurate.
*   \[Update\] Improved algorithm that scans referrer URLs for search terms, and introduced a new list of search engines. Please help us improve this list by submitting your missing search engine entries.
*   \[Update\] Added title field to Slimstat widgets (thank you, jaroslawistok).

*   \[Fix\] After resetting the Customizer view, all reports were being listed twice (thank you, Anton).
*   \[Fix\] A new feature introduced by our Javascript tracker was not working as expected in IE11 (thank you, 51nullacht).

**4.8.7.2**

*   \[Fix\] The new tracker was having problems recording clicks on SVG elements within a link (thank you, pollensteyn).
*   \[Fix\] The event handler is now capable of tracking events on BUTTONs within FORM elements.
*   \[Fix\] Permalinks containing post query strings were not being recorded as expected.

**4.8.7.1**

*   \[Note\] We are in the process of deprecating the two columns _type_ and _event\_description_ in the events table, and consolidating that information in the _notes_ field. Code will be added to Slimstat in a few released to actually drop these columns from the database. If you are using those two columns in your custom code, please feel free to contact our support team to discuss your options and how to update your code using the information collected by the new tracker.
*   \[Fix\] A warning message was being displayed when enabling the opt-out feature with certain versions of PHP.

*   \[Fix\] License keys for premium add-ons were not being saved as expected, due to a side effect of the new security features we implemented in the Settings.

**4.8.7**

*   \[New\] With this update, we are introducing an _updated tracker_ (both server and client-side): a new simplified codebase that gets rid of a few layers of convoluted functions and algorithms accumulated over the years. We have been working on this update for quite a while, and the recent conflict with another plugin discovered by some users convinced us to make this our top priority. Even though we have tested our new code using a variety of scenarios, you can understand how it would be impossible to cover all the possible environments available out there. Make sure to clear your caches (local, Cloudflare, WP plugins, etc), to allow Slimstat to append the new tracking script to your pages. Also, if you are using Slimstat to track _external_ pages (outside of your WP install), please make sure to update the code you’re using on those pages with the new one you can find in Slimstat > Settings > Tracker > External Pages.
*   \[New\] Increased minimum WordPress requirements to version 4.9, given that we are now using some more modern functions to enqueue the tracker and implement the customizer feature.
*   \[Update\] We tweaked the SQL query to retrieve ‘recent’ results, and added a GROUP BY clause to remove duplicates. This might affect some custom reports you might have created, so please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any question or experience any issues.
*   \[Update\] The columns to store event type and description are being deprecated, and consolidated into the existing ‘notes’ column. Our function ss_track() will only accept the note parameter moving forward. Please update your custom code accordingly. In a few releases, we are going to drop those columns from the database.
*   \[Update\] Changed wording on Traffic Sources report to explain what kind of search engine result pages are being counted (thank you, Nina).
*   \[Fix\] The button to delete all the records from the database was not working as expected (thank you, Softfully).
*   \[Fix\] When the plugin was network activated on a group of existing blogs, the tables used to store all the records were not initialized as expected, under given circumstances.
*   \[Fix\] A bug was affecting certain shortcodes when PHP 7.2 was enabled (thank you, Peter).
*   \[Fix\] Emptying one of the settings and saving did not produce the desired effect.

CVE-2019-15112: Slimstat Analytics

The weblibrarian plugin before 3.4.8.6 for WordPress has XSS via front-end short codes.

*   Details
*   Reviews
*   Installation
*   Development

This WordPress plugin started as a portable, cross-platform system that  
the Wendell Free Library could use as a transition system from its current  
paper card based circulation system to the system that will eventually  
be rolled out by the regional library system. It has ‘morphed’ to a  
web-based successor to Deepwoods Software’s Home Librarian 3 system.

This plugin implements a simple and basic, web-based, library catalog  
and circulation system. There are short codes that can be added to  
pages of a WordPress site to search and display items in the library  
collection. And there are back-end (admin) pages that implement  
management of the collection, management of patrons (users) of the  
library, as well as implementing the functionality of a circulation  
desk.

The plugin can be installed by uploading the Zip file to the plugin  
installer or unpacking the zip file under the plugins directory.

There are some options that can be set, but these options are not needed  
for basic operation. There are three short codes that can be added to  
pages or posts for front end searching and display of your library  
collection and there are a number of back-end (dashboard) pages for all  
of the management of your library.

Please read the PDF User Manual (also available in  
Italian) for complete documentation on using this plugin. This  
is a fairly non-trivial plugin, and there is not a simple quick-start guide  
for the impatient. The user manual files are 1548805 bytes long for the  
Italian version and 1548666 for the Englist version and MD5 sums are  
available. If you are having trouble opening the PDFs,  
please check the size and the MD5Sum. If the size is right and the MD5Sum is  
right, try another PDF viewer.

Support is handled either with \[Deepwoods Software’s Bugzilla\]\[bugreport\]  
(submit any bugs and feature requests to the Bugzilla) or though the  
\[Deepwoods Software’s Support page\]\[support\] (use this for comments or  
for general questions).

You’ve successfully installed the Web Librarian, but none of the admin  
menus (Patrons, Collection, Circulation Types, Circulation Desk, or  
Circulation Stats) show up. Why is this? This is because you are  
probably logged in as the web site administrator (your user role is  
Administrator). You need to create at least a user with a user role of  
Librarian and then log in as this user. Optionally, you can also  
create users with roles of Senior Aid or Volunteer, who have lesser  
privileges — these latter users make sense if you are a large enough  
library that has additional staff (“Senior Aid”) or uses additional  
workers (“Volunteer”) who man the circulation desk(s). It is important  
to read the subsection titled “User Role Setup” in the “Installation and  
basic setup” section _carefully_ and to be sure you understand it fully.

**Which stylesheet (CSS) selectors can I use to modify the appearance of the front end?**

This is described in the appendix of the user manual.

**I am having a problem with the bulk upload.**

Here are some tips relating to problems with bulk uploading a collection:

If you export a CSV file from Excel (and probably other ‘modern’ spreadsheet  
programs as well), you should check the resulting CSV file with a _plain text_  
editor. Things to look for include extra commas at the ends of lines  
(‘phantom’ or empty columns) and strange characters, partitularly in the  
headings and in barcodes (if you using your own barcodes).

Other issues involving issues with newline characters. Most of the time  
WordPress will be running on a LAMP server (a Linux machine). Linux uses the  
linefeed character (ASCII 10, Ctrl-j) as newline character. MS-Windows uses a  
two character sequence for newlines: carriage return (ASCII 13, Ctrl-m)  
followed by a linefeed (ASCII 10, Ctrl-j). MacOSX uses just a carriage  
return (ASCII 13, Ctrl-m). Web browsers are _supposed_ to normalize uploaded  
plain text files, but sometimes this does not happen. It might be necessary  
to fix things in advance of uploading.

Finally, try your upload in _small_ chunks, at least until you get the process  
worked out. Remember that most WordPress (PHP) installs have a limit on the  
maximum size of uploaded files, so a really large database is going to have be  
uploaded in chunks anyway.

**How do I check an item out?**

In order to check an item out, you need to load a patron record into the  
circulation desk page. You can use the “Find Patron” button to search the  
patrons by name and then select the proper result from the list of results  
in the drop down and then click the “Lookup Patron” to load that patron’s  
record. You can then enter the item’s barcode in the item barcode field and  
click the “Checkout” button. It is possible to pre-load the item barcode  
field before looking up the patron.

**Search does not work – sends me back to my home page**

This is caused by a conflict with permalinks and form handling. Answered in  
the support forum on the WordPress site:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-doesnt-work-7

I’d suggest this solution:

Change your site’s permalink settings: on the dashboard select  
Settings->permalinks, then select something other than the ‘default’.

**I cannot open the user manual, it appears to be corrupt**

Please check the size of the PDF (1548805 for user\_manual\_IT.pdf and 1548666  
for user\_manual.pdf) and also check the MD5 sum to make  
sure you properly downloaded the file. The correct download urls are:

Dear Robert, Truly value your exertion in making this module. Good to run an online library. We have effectively setup and propelled a free online library for our group. Great work. We created a new theme on your work and its all thanks to your work. Web Librarian Much thanks 🙂

As a non-lending family history society, we wanted a plugin which would enable members to search the library catalogue and display results. We did not require the circulation side of it as we don't lend materials. We also wanted the ability to enter the category and subject so have added those to the database\_code\_php so that the librarian can select from each without having to retype every time. The librarian can export to a CSV file (already provided), and can now search the collection using Title, ISBN, Keyword, Call Number etc and sort on those headings as well. This has the bones of a good program for our needs and I had searched long and hard before downloading this one.

I tried loading this onto a subdomain site with the theme ‘Evolve'. Each time the plugin uploaded and activated, but soon as I added a library user the subdomain site and my main site froze. I had to delete the plugin in order to restore. Maybe this is a good plugin but not for me. I have no option but to look for an alternative.
