Description
The Geopost plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'height' parameter of the 'geopost' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 Geopost plugin is vulnerable to a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that allows an authenticated user with contributor privileges or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the "height" attribute of the geopost shortcode. When a page containing the injected shortcode is viewed, the script executes in the context of each visitor, potentially enabling credential theft, defacement, or other client‑side attacks.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Geopost plugin for WordPress, produced by rampantlogic, in all releases up to and including version 1.2.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at this time, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must be authenticated and hold at least contributor access, then exploit the inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on the live editing interface to embed malicious payloads that run for all users who visit the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Geopost plugin to any version newer than 1.2 to eliminate the stored XSS flaw.
  • If an update is unavailable, disable or uninstall the Geopost plugin so the shortcode cannot be rendered.
  • Restrict contributor-level permissions in WordPress, or implement a role‑based policy that prevents script injection through shortcodes.
