Description
The My Geo Posts Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'mygeo_city' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to the plugin not properly sanitizing user input or escaping output of the 'default' shortcode attribute. 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 vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that stems from the My Geo Posts Free plugin not escaping the default attribute of the 'mygeo_city' shortcode. An attacker with contributor‑level access can inject arbitrary JavaScript into the shortcode, which is persisted and executed whenever a user loads a page containing the shortcode.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the WordPress plugin "My Geo Posts Free" from vendor mindstien. All released versions up to and including 1.2 are vulnerable. No newer releases are listed in the provided data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 places the vulnerability in the medium severity range. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates the probability of exploitation is very low, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attack requires an authenticated user with at least contributor privileges; the attacker then exploits the stored XSS to affect all site visitors who view the impacted page.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the My Geo Posts Free plugin to a version newer than 1.2, which removes the unescaped shortcode processing.

  • Ensure that contributor accounts are only granted when necessary and monitor role assignments to limit the number of users who can inject malicious content.
