Description
The CSS & JavaScript Toolbox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's cjtoolbox shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 12.0.6 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 CSS & JavaScript Toolbox plugin for WordPress contains a flaw in the cjtoolbox shortcode. User supplied attributes are neither properly sanitized nor escaped, allowing an authenticated user with contributor or higher privileges to store malicious JavaScript on a page. When visitors view the page containing the shortcode, the injected script is executed in their browsers, creating a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability. The flaw is classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the CSS & JavaScript Toolbox plugin from wipeoutmedia, any release up to and including version 12.0.6. The vulnerability does not affect other plugins or products. It requires that the site be running WordPress with the mentioned plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.4 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation is unknown, and the vulnerability is not tracked in CISA's KEV catalog. An attacker must be authenticated with contributor or higher access to inject code, after which the stored script will run on every user who views the affected page. While the need for elevated credentials lowers the risk compared to a public‑exposed XSS, the impact remains significant for sites that permit contributors to edit content.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update CSS & JavaScript Toolbox to the latest patched release where the shortcode sanitization issue is fixed.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, remove contributor and lower role capabilities that allow editing or inserting shortcodes on public‑visible pages to prevent new injections.
  • Enforce a strong Content Security Policy that restricts script execution to approved sources and enable WordPress's built‑in XSS filters for additional protection.
