Description
The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'from' attribute of the [export-users] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.9, due to a date check that only looks for a date anywhere in the value and missing output escaping when the value is printed into a hidden form field. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user allowed to create users, such as an administrator, accesses or previews the injected page.
