Description
The VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'vkExUnit_cta_url' and 'vkExUnit_cta_button_text' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 9.112.1. This is due to a logic error in the CTA save function that reads sanitization callbacks from the wrong variable ($custom_field_name instead of $custom_field_options), causing the sanitization to never be applied. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute when a user accesses an injected page.",

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an authenticated Contributor or higher user to store malicious JavaScript during the creation or editing of a call‑to‑action block. The underlying logic error prevents sanitization from being applied to the URL and button text fields, so any script entered is persisted to the database and executes whenever a page containing the block is viewed. This form of stored XSS can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites for any visitor who loads the affected page.

Affected Systems

The flaw exists in the VK All in One Expansion Unit WordPress plugin released by kurudrive, affecting all versions up to and including 9.112.1.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity; the EPSS score of <1% shows a very low likelihood of exploitation at the present time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. However, because the attack requires only Contributor‑level access within a WordPress site, the number of potential attackers is non‑trivial. A successful exploitation would allow the attacker to run client‑side code in the browsers of any user who visits a page containing the compromised CTA block, potentially compromising user sessions or delivering additional malware.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin to a version newer than 9.112.1
  • Restrict Contributor and higher users from modifying CTA blocks or remove the plugin for those users if unneeded
  • Audit existing CTA blocks for untrusted script injections and remove any that contain suspicious code
