AI Analysis

Impact

Improper neutralization of user input during page generation enables a stored XSS flaw in the Google Org Chart WordPress plugin. A malicious actor can inject arbitrary scripts that execute when the page is rendered, potentially compromising the session, harvesting credentials, or defacing the site. The weakness is a classic input validation failure classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

The Google Org Chart plugin developed by Aleksandar Arsovski is affected for all releases up to and including version 1.0.1. Any WordPress site that has installed any of these versions inherits the vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.5 indicates moderate to high impact. The EPSS score of less than 1 % denotes a low probability of exploitation at this time, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that an attacker can inject payloads through the plugin’s input fields, which are persisted and later served to visitors, making the attack remote yet dependent on the site’s configuration and user roles.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Google Org Chart plugin to a version newer than 1.0.1 or remove the plugin entirely if it is no longer needed
  • Ensure that any fields accepting user input are properly sanitized or encoded before output to prevent stored script execution
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that restricts inline script execution to mitigate the impact if a payload is injected
