Description
The Survey Anyplace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'surveyanyplace_embed' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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 Survey Anyplace plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw in its surveyanyplace_embed shortcode. Because the plugin fails to sanitize and escape user‑supplied attributes, an authenticated attacker with contributor‑level access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the page. When a visitor loads any page that contains the malicious shortcode, the injected script runs in the visitor’s browser, enabling actions such as cookie theft, session hijacking, defacement, or execution of other malicious payloads.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that use the Survey Anyplace plugin version 1.0.0 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability is present in all releases up to, and including, 1.0.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects moderate impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low exploitation probability in the wild. The flaw is not publicly exploitable; it requires the attacker to be authenticated with at least contributor privileges. Once the attacker injects payloads through the shortcode, any user who visits the page executes the malicious script. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Survey Anyplace plugin to the latest available version that contains the stored XSS fix; if no newer release exists, contact the vendor for a patch.
  • If an update is not immediately available, remove or sanitize the surveyanyplace_embed shortcode from all existing content or disable it entirely through plugin settings to prevent new injections.
  • Restrict contributors from adding or editing content that can contain the shortcode, or limit the shortcode to administrators only, and perform an audit of existing pages to ensure no malicious payloads remain.
