Summary

The Oturia Smart Google Code Inserter plugin for WordPress contains a significant vulnerability that enables unauthenticated attackers to exploit the 'sgcgoogleanalytic' parameter and insert arbitrary JavaScript or HTML code. This malicious code executes across all pages served by a vulnerable WordPress site, as the saveGoogleCode() function does not validate authorization before processing requests. The vulnerability exists in versions prior to 3.5 of the plugin, posing a considerable risk to website integrity and security.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
