Description
The Wish To Go plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcode attributes in all versions up to, and including, 0.5.2 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 Wish To Go plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability in its shortcode attributes. Unsanitized user input is stored in the database and rendered directly when a page containing the shortcode is loaded, allowing a logged‑in attacker with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute in the browsers of anyone who views the affected page.

Affected Systems

All releases of jseto's Travel Bucket List – Wish To Go plugin up to and including version 0.5.2 are affected. The flaw can be exploited only on sites that use this plugin and have users with Contributor or higher roles who can create or edit content containing shortcodes.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authentication with at least Contributor privileges to add or edit a shortcode, after which the malicious script is stored and will run for any visitor who opens the associated page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Visit the plugin’s official source or vendor site to locate a patched version that addresses the XSS flaw.
  • Implement a server‑side filter that sanitizes shortcode attributes before they are saved, using WordPress functions such as sanitize_text_field() or esc_attr().
  • Review the user roles and revoke Contributor permissions from accounts that do not require editing of content with shortcodes, or restrict their access to non‑shortcode authorship.
  • As an interim measure, disable the Travel Bucket List – Wish To Go plugin or delete existing vulnerable shortcodes from posts until a patch is applied.
