# 1. Technical Description:
The CMS Tree Page View plugin for WordPress has a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability up to version 1.6.7.
This is due to the post_type parameter not properly escaping user input. As a result, users with administrator privileges or higher can inject JavaScript code that will execute whenever accessed.


# 2. Proof of Concept (PoC):

WordPress CMS Tree Page View Plugin <= 1.6.7 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
In the case of this vulnerability, there are two XSS PoCs available: one for version 1.6.6 and another for version 1.6.7.

1. CMS Tree Page View Plugin <= 1.6.6

  a. Send the following URL to users with administrator privileges or higher: http://localhost:8888/wp-admin/edit.php?page=cms-tpv-page-post&post_type=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C%2Fscript%3E.

  b.  your payload will be executed.

[!] note : To make the payload work, the "In menu" option under Settings -> CMS Tree Page View -> Select where to show a tree for pages and custom post types needs to be enabled for posts.
