Esselunga è una delle principali catene italiane nel settore della grande distribuzione.

Oltre a essere retailer, Esselunga è anche produttore diretto per i suoi clienti, qualificandosi come una vera e propria Food Company. Nei primi anni ’60 sono state avviate le linee di pasta fresca e prodotti da forno e oggi l’attività si è ulteriormente ampliata nei centri di produzione in provincia di Milano, Novara e Parma, dove ogni giorno vengono realizzate specialità gastronomiche, prodotti da forno, pasta fresca e dove vengono lavorate carni e linee di prodotti ittici tra cui il sushi. Inoltre da qualche anno è attivo un laboratorio artigianale di pasticceria di altissima qualità, in collaborazione con il ristorante stellato Da Vittorio dei Fratelli Cerea, che oggi si fregia del marchio Elisenda. Tra i primi a lanciare in Italia la spesa on line, oggi Esselunga è leader in Italia e impegnata a potenziare sempre più la strategia omnicanale. L’azienda è costantemente impegnata nell’innovazione di prodotto, nella salvaguardia dell’ambiente e nella tutela del consumatore e lavora ogni giorno per offrire prodotti di qualità accuratamente selezionati e controllati, vantaggiose politiche di prezzo e tutela dell'ecosostenibilità.

Latest Global CVEs (Not Company-Specific)

Description

The WP Go Maps (formerly WP Google Maps) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the processBackgroundAction() function in all versions up to, and including, 10.0.04. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify global map engine settings.

Risk Information

Base: 5.3
Severity: LOW
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Description

The Save as PDF Plugin by PDFCrowd plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘options’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. NOTE: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the PDFCrowd API key is blank (also known as "demo mode", which is the default configuration when the plugin is installed) or known.

Description

The Hustle – Email Marketing, Lead Generation, Optins, Popups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to incorrect file type validation in the action_import_module() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.9.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with a lower-privileged role (e.g., Subscriber-level access and above), to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. Successful exploitation requires an admin to grant Hustle module permissions (or module edit access) to the low-privileged user so they can access the Hustle admin page and obtain the required nonce.

Description

The Meta-box GalleryMeta plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
