    Technical Details & Description:
    ================================
    A persistent input validation web vulnerability has been discoveredin
    the Buddypress v6.0.0 - v6.2.0 plugin for wordpress.
    The vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject own malicious script
    codes with persistent attack vector to compromise
    browser to web-application requests from the application-side.
    
    The persistent vulnerability is located in the `wp:html` name parameter
    of the `figure` content. Remote attackers with privileges
    are able to inject own malicious persistent script code as input to
    compromise the internal ui of the wordpress backend. The attacker
    injects his code and in case the admin or other privileged user account
    previews the content the code simple executes. The request method
    to inject is POST and the attack vector is located on the application-side.
    
    Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities results in session
    hijacking, persistent phishing attacks, persistent external
    redirects to malicious source and persistent manipulation of affected
    application modules.
    
    Request Method(s):
    [+] POST
    
    Vulnerable Module(s):
    [+] wp:html
    
    Vulnerable Parameter(s):
    [+] figure
    
    Affected Module(s):
    [+] page_id=x&preview=true
    
    
    Proof of Concept (PoC):
    =======================
    The persistent web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers
    with privilged user accounts without user interaction.
