Description
The WP Js List Pages Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'class' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.21 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 WP Js List Pages Shortcodes plugin contains a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw in the "class" shortcode attribute in all releases up to and including 1.21. Because the plugin does not sanitize or escape that attribute, a malicious contributor or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will run in the browser of any visitor to a page containing the injected shortcode. This can lead to credential theft, defacement or other malicious actions performed in the victim’s context.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the WP Js List Pages Shortcodes plugin installed with a version 1.21 or earlier. The vulnerability is limited to installations that use the "class" attribute in the plugin’s shortcode but any user with access to a page containing such a shortcode is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS value of < 1% shows that the overall probability of exploitation is low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be local: an attacker must first gain authenticated Contributor-level access, after which they can inject the payload via the shortcode and cause exploitation when any site visitor views the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the WP Js List Pages Shortcodes plugin to the latest version (1.22 or newer) to remove the vulnerability.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the "class" shortcode attribute or remove it entirely to prevent payload injection.
  • Restrict Contributor and higher roles from editing content that uses the vulnerable shortcode, or implement additional input validation to sanitize the attribute before rendering.
