AI Analysis

Impact

The WordPress WP Mailster plugin contains an improper neutralization of input during web page generation flaw allowing an attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript in a URL that is reflected back into the page without escaping. When a victim visits the crafted link, the injected script runs in the victim’s browser, potentially letting the attacker steal session cookies, manipulate the page, or redirect the user to malicious sites.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WP Mailster plugin from brandtoss for WordPress. Every installation using version 1.8.17.0 or older is considered vulnerable; newer releases beyond 1.8.17.0 are not affected.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 7.1 the flaw presents moderate‑to‑high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % and absence from the CISA KEV catalog indicate a low probability of widespread exploitation at present. The attack can be performed simply by creating a malicious URL and delivering it to users, without requiring privileged access or advanced techniques. Successful exploitation would compromise the confidentiality and integrity of user sessions and site content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP Mailster to any version newer than 1.8.17.0 to remove the reflected XSS flaw.
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, configure a web‑application firewall or security plugin to filter or block XSS payloads before they reach the plugin’s output.
  • Enable site‑wide Content Security Policy headers that restrict execution of injected scripts, thereby reducing the impact of any remaining reflected input.
