Description
The Shabat Keeper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.4.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Shabat Keeper plugin for WordPress contains an input handling flaw that allows malicious script payloads to be reflected into page output when the value of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is used without proper sanitization or escaping. This vulnerability is classified as CWE‑79 and can enable arbitrary JavaScript to run in the context of a victim’s browser when a user follows a specially crafted link. The resulting impact can include cookie theft, session hijacking, or the execution of further malicious actions through the browser.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Shabat Keeper plugin version 0.4.4 and earlier are affected. The plugin is developed by beshkin and is available within the WordPress plugin repository. No other vendor or product variants are listed in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a currently low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can introduce the script by creating a link containing the malicious payload, relying on a victim’s willingness to click it. No authentication or privileged access is required, making this issue widely exploitable in public or untrusted user contexts.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Shabat Keeper plugin to the latest version that removes the unsanitized $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] usage.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, edit the plugin file to properly sanitize or remove the reference to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] before output.
  • Enforce a strict Content Security Policy that disallows inline scripts and restricts script sources to trusted domains, mitigating the impact of any remaining reflected payloads.
