Description
The Trail Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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 Trail Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored Cross‑Site Scripting through its admin settings. Admin‑level or higher users can inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via unsanitized input, causing any user who accesses the affected page to execute the injected scripts. Based on the description, it is inferred that attackers could hijack sessions, deface content, or facilitate phishing attacks once the scripts run. The weakness is a classic input validation issue identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Users of the Trail Manager plugin version 1.0.0 and earlier from vendor phegman are impacted. The vulnerability only affects multi‑site WordPress installations where the unfiltered_html filter has been disabled. Any site that meets these conditions and keeps the plugin at an affected version is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires authenticated admin‑level access, so the likely vector involves privileged account compromise. Given the low exploitation probability, the potential impact on trusted users still makes timely remediation advisable.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Trail Manager to the latest available release that is newer than 1.0.0.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, deactivate or remove the plugin from the site.
  • Restrict or remove the ability for users with the unfiltered_html filter disabled to edit settings that accept arbitrary input.
  • Deploy a Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts and limits script sources to mitigate any residual risk.
