WP Courses LMS < 2.0.44 - Authenticated Stored XSS via Video Embed Code
Description
The plugin does not sanitise its Video Embed Code, allowing malicious code to be injected in it by high privilege users, even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, which could lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues
Proof of Concept
On the dashboard, navigate to WP Courses > Courses > Add New > Video Embed Code (iframe) (in the Post settings), inject with <iframe> XSS payload, such as
<iframe src="javascript:alert(document.cookie)"></iframe>;<iframe src="javascript:%61%6c%65%72%74%28%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%63%6f%6f%6b%69%65%29"></iframe>
Then, click Update, and to trigger XSS payload, open URL path of course
