Description
The Dhivehi Text plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'dhivehi' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 accesses an injected page.

Score: 6.4 Medium

KEV: No
Impact: Stored cross-site scripting that allows a contributor or higher to inject and run arbitrary JavaScript on page loads

AI Analysis

Impact

The Dhivehi Text plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the dhivehi shortcode. Unsanitized and unescaped attributes let attackers insert arbitrary scripts. When a target visits a page containing the malicious shortcode, the injected code executes in their browser, potentially exfiltrating data, hijacking sessions, or delivering malware.

Affected Systems

dash8x Dhivehi Text plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 0.1. The vulnerability affects any WordPress site that has these versions installed and uses the dhivehi shortcode.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 places this vulnerability in the medium‑severity range, but the EPSS score is less than 1%, indicating a low current exploitation likelihood. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The required attacker model is authenticated with contributor or higher privileges, making it exploitable by anyone with content‑creation rights. The attack path involves creating or editing a post to include the malicious shortcode, which will then persist until removed.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Dhivehi Text plugin to the latest release where input sanitization for the shortcode attributes has been fixed.
  • If an update is not available, disable or remove the dhivehi shortcode from the site, or restrict its usage to a vetted group of users with minimal privileges.
  • Add a strong content‑security‑policy header to the site to limit script execution origins and mitigate the impact of any remaining XSS payloads.
