Published Jan 15, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Atanas Krachev SEO Bulk Editor seo-bulk-editor allows Stored XSS.This issue affects SEO Bulk Editor: from n/a through <= 1.1.0.

Analysis

Technical impact

This vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input, enabling stored XSS that can be used to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of site visitors. Attackers may embed malicious scripts that run whenever affected content is viewed, potentially leading to defacement, credential theft, or session hijacking.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the WordPress SEO Bulk Editor plugin authored by Atanas Krachev in all releases up to and including version 1.1.0. Site administrators running this WordPress plugin without updating beyond 1.1.0 are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is stored XSS, so an attacker must be able to submit data via the plugin interface and that data must later be rendered on a page. If exploitation occurs, it could allow arbitrary scripts to run in the browsers of other visitors, with potential for defacement or data theft. The vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA KEV.
