AI Analysis

Impact

Improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the Easy Filtering plugin allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript that is reflected back to the user's browser. The flaw exists in all releases of the plugin up to and including version 2.5.0, due to the plugin’s failure to properly encode or sanitize user–supplied query parameters before rendering them.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects franciscopalacios Easy Filtering installations on WordPress. All versions from the earliest available through 2.5.0 are vulnerable, so any WordPress site that has the plugin installed and has not upgraded beyond 2.5.0 is exposed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a moderate‑to‑high impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests current exploitation opportunities are scarce. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is a malicious URL or form containing the payload, inferred from the reflected XSS nature of the flaw; no authentication or special privileges are required. The overall risk is medium, but timely remediation is recommended.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Easy Filtering plugin to a version newer than 2.5.0 as soon as an update becomes available.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or uninstall the plugin until a fix is released.
  • Enforce input validation and output encoding on the site, or implement a strong content security policy to mitigate the impact of any remaining reflected XSS vectors.
