Description
The Playerzbr plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'urlmeta' post meta field in all versions up to, and including, 1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 Playerzbr plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'urlmeta' post meta field. An authenticated user with contributor level or higher can inject arbitrary scripts that are saved in the database and executed whenever another user views the affected page. This stored XSS can lead to defacement, theft of session cookies, and execution of malicious code, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of site visitors, and it maps to CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Playerzbr plugin version 1.6 or earlier, developed by the vendor pedrolaxe, are affected. All versions up to and including 1.6 use the vulnerable 'urlmeta' field.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low yet non‑zero likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access with contributor or higher privileges, enabling the attacker to edit a post and store a malicious payload in the 'urlmeta' field via the WordPress admin interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Playerzbr plugin to a version newer than 1.6 or uninstall the plugin if it is not required.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable contributor and higher level editing of the 'urlmeta' meta field, or demote such users to read‑only roles temporarily.
  • Implement server‑side sanitization or use a web application firewall that blocks malicious scripts in the 'urlmeta' field and enforce XSS filtering for added protection.
