AI Analysis

Impact

The Paytm Payment Donation plugin for WordPress contains a reflected XSS vulnerability (CWE‑79). Improper sanitization of user input in the plugin’s web page generation allows an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript that is executed in the victim’s browser when the constructed URL or form is loaded. Exploitation can result in cookie theft, session hijacking, defacement, or phishing.

Affected Systems

Affected instances include WordPress sites that have installed integrationdevpaytm Paytm Payment Donation plugin version 2.3.1 or earlier. No specific WordPress version requirement is noted, so any site running the vulnerable plugin is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 denotes a moderate to high risk, while the EPSS score of <1% indicates a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation, and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers can activate the XSS via a crafted URL or a maliciously constructed form input that is reflected by the plugin. If the site does not enforce additional sanitization or a strict Content‑Security‑Policy, the injected script can run with the privileges of the visiting user.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Paytm Payment Donation plugin to a version newer than 2.3.1.
  • Apply WordPress's built‑in escaping functions (e.g., esc_html(), esc_attr(), wp_kses()) to any user‑supplied data processed by the plugin.
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that restricts the execution of inline scripts to trusted origins.
  • Deploy a web application firewall to filter malicious scripts that may bypass application‑level defenses.
