AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an improper neutralization of input during web page generation that results in a DOM‑based XSS flaw in the Able Player WordPress plugin. The flaw allows an attacker to inject crafted JavaScript into pages generated by the plugin, potentially running in the victim’s browser when the page is viewed.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have installed Damion Armentrout’s Able Player plugin with a version up through 1.0 are affected. No specific sub‑version indication is provided, so any instance of the plugin as of version 1.0 or earlier should be treated as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a victim to load a page that includes the plugin’s output; the attack is client‑side and typically achieves defacement or phishing. No remote code execution or server‑side compromise is possible based on the provided description.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest Able Player plugin version if a newer release is available, or remove the plugin entirely.
  • If removal is not an option, disable any plugin features that accept user‑supplied URLs or input that may be rendered in the page output.
  • Add a Content Security Policy header that restricts script execution for pages using the plugin, and ensure any user input is properly escaped before rendering.
