This is due to the plugin unconditionally removing the `wp_kses_data` output filter for term_description, link_description, link_notes, and user_description fields without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in category descriptions that will execute whenever a user accesses a page where the category description is displayed. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "El plugin Allow HTML en Category Descriptions para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a trav\u00e9s de las descripciones de categor\u00eda en todas las versiones hasta la 1.2.4, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin elimina incondicionalmente el filtro de salida `wp_kses_data` para los campos term_description, link_description, link_notes y user_description sin verificar las capacidades del usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en las descripciones de categor\u00eda que se ejecutar\u00e1n cada vez que un usuario acceda a una p\u00e1gina donde se muestre la descripci\u00f3n de la categor\u00eda.
