Description

Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the church_admin plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the GET parameters to wp-content/plugins/church-admin/includes/validate.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.33.4.5. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Update to version 0.4.3.

Provided and/or discovered by
Sammy Forgit.

Last edited on 8th Jul, 2012 08:45		 That file just contained print_r($_GET); and was used in initial testing - no danger to anyone! No cross scripting vulnerability either - it didn't do anything.
It was not called from anywhere in the plugin and has now been removed from svn wordpress.org repository

 The vulnerable file /wp-content/plugins/church-admin/includes/validate .php has been removed from v0.4.3 - it was redundant.
