Description
The WP Easy Toggles plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'toggles' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.0 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.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WP Easy Toggles plugin allows a contributor or higher‑privileged user to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the shortcode’s attributes. On submission the plugin stores the payload and later outputs it without proper sanitization or escaping, resulting in Stored Cross‑Site Scripting. An attacker who successfully injects a script can steal session cookies, perform account hijacks, deface pages, or trick users into executing malicious actions without their knowledge. The flaw is identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site that has the WP Easy Toggles plugin by husainahmedqureshi installed in a version 1.9.0 or earlier. The vulnerability is present in all releases up to and including 1.9.0 and affects every shortcode instance that accepts user‑supplied attributes.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is less than 1%, implying a low probability of exploitation at the time of this analysis. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so there is no known, active exploitation. Exploitation requires an authenticated attacker with contributor-level access or higher, who can submit a malicious shortcode that is later rendered in a page accessible to other users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WP Easy Toggles plugin to a version newer than 1.9.0 when available.
  • If immediate upgrade is not feasible, remove or disable the shortcode from publicly accessible pages or reduce contributor permissions to prevent injection.
  • Audit existing pages for hidden or obfuscated JavaScript that may have been injected and remove or refactor it.
