Description
The Frndzk Expandable Bottom Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'text' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Frndzk Expandable Bottom Bar WordPress plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability via the text parameter. In affected versions through 1.0, insufficient input sanitization allows an authenticated administrator to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the plugin’s output. When a user views a page where the script is stored, the malicious code executes in the context of that user’s browser, potentially exposing session information or defacing the site.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Frndzk Expandable Bottom Bar plugin up to and including version 1.0 on multi‑site networks or sites with the unfiltered_html capability disabled. Only accounts with administrator or higher privileges can exploit the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation is currently unlikely. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attacker must first authenticate as an administrator, the attack vector is limited to users with elevated privileges, reducing the overall risk profile for anonymous users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Frndzk Expandable Bottom Bar plugin to the latest released version that includes the input sanitization fix.
  • If a patch is not available, remove or deactivate the plugin entirely to eliminate the exploitation surface.
  • Restrict administrator access to trusted accounts and enforce strict role‑based access controls to reduce the chances of an attacker logging in with elevated privileges.
