Tittle:
WordPress Plugin Hummingbird < 3.3.2 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting

References:
CVE-2022-0994

Author:
Taurus Omar 

Description:
The plugin does not sanitise and escape the Config Name, which could allow high privilege users, such as admin to perform cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.

Affects Plugins:
Hummingbird-performance - Fixed in version 3.3.2

Proof of Concept:
Go to Hummingbird's Settings > Configs > edit the "Name and Description" and put the following payload in the Name field: <img src onerror=alert(/XSS/)>

Save and Click 'Apply' to trigger the XSS

Go to Hummingbird's Settings > Configs and Upload the following config
