AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a DOM‑Based Cross‑Site Scripting flaw in the RaminMT:Links/Problem Reporter WordPress plugin. Improper neutralization of input during page generation lets an attacker inject arbitrary client‑side scripts that execute in the victim’s browser. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement of content or redirection to malicious sites, affecting the confidentiality and integrity of user data.

Affected Systems

WordPress plugin RaminMT:Links/Problem Reporter, all released versions up to and including 2.6.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 categorizes the flaw as medium severity, while an EPSS score of under 1% indicates a very low current exploitation probability. The plugin is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to craft an input path or malicious link that reaches a browser running the vulnerable plugin; any user who views the affected page would be susceptible.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade RaminMT:Links/Problem Reporter to the latest available version (≥ 2.6.1) which removes the XSS flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, uninstall the plugin or replace it with a secure alternative that properly validates and sanitizes user input.
  • As a temporary safeguard, ensure that the plugin’s input fields are escaped on output or apply a universal output‑encoding middleware, and use a XSS filtering plugin to monitor malicious script attempts.
