Description
The Simple Folio plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'portfolio_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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 Simple Folio WordPress plugin is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting flaw that allows authenticated users with subscriber-level or higher access to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the portfolio_name field. When a malicious user manipulates this field, the attacker‑supplied script is stored and rendered whenever a user loads the affected page. Potential consequences such as defacement, cookie theft, or credential hijacking are inferred from the nature of XSS attacks, but the CVE description does not explicitly state these outcomes.

Affected Systems

All releases of the Simple Folio plugin from Presstigers up to and including version 1.1.0 are affected. Sites running any of these unpatched versions with subscribers or elevated roles that can edit portfolio names are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. An EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is rare, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must first obtain authenticated credentials with subscriber or higher privileges, then submit a malicious payload via the portfolio_name field; because the flaw is stored, the malicious code remains until the content is removed, affecting all users who view the page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest available Simple Folio release; if no patch is yet available, consider uninstalling the plugin.
  • Restrict or remove subscriber and higher roles that can edit the portfolio_name field until a fix is released.
  • Apply a Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts to mitigate the impact of any remaining stored scripts.
