Impact

The SKT Skill Bar plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw caused by improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This weakness permits an attacker to inject malicious script that will run in the context of any authenticated or unauthenticated visitor of the impacted WordPress site, enabling data theft, session hijacking, or defacement. The vulnerability is classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site that has installed the sonalsinha21 SKT Skill Bar plugin with a version of 2.3 or earlier is affected. The plugin is listed under the vendor "sonalsinha21:SKT Skill Bar". No specific sub‑versions are enumerated beyond the <=2.3 cap.

Risk and Exploitability
