Description
The Weekly Planner plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Weekly Planner plugin for WordPress suffers a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in admin settings. Attackers with administrator privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will run whenever a user opens an injected page, potentially enabling session hijacking, defacement, or other client‑side attacks.

Affected Systems

All WordPress installations using Weekly Planner version 1.0 or earlier, especially multisite deployments with unfiltered_html disabled. The vulnerability applies to the Michael J. Reid Weekly Planner plugin and must be addressed on any affected site.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates a moderate severity, and an EPSS of less than 1% suggests a very low but non‑zero probability of exploitation. The plugin is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires administrator rights on a multisite configuration, making it a targeted attack vector rather than a widespread threat.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Weekly Planner to the latest version that removes the XSS flaw
  • If an update is unavailable, disable the plugin or restrict unfiltered_html to prevent script execution
  • Ensure that the site’s multisite network and permission settings remain minimal for non‑administrator users
