AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability is an Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags flaw that allows malicious code to be injected into web pages served by the WordPress Frontend File Manager plugin. An attacker could embed JavaScript or other executable content into files or inputs handled by the plugin, potentially leading to defacement, credential theft, or further exploitation depending on the user’s privileges. The flaw is classified as CWE-80, a Basic Cross‑Site Scripting weakness that directly impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the web application for affected users.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the N‑Media Frontend File Manager WordPress plugin (nmedia‑user‑file‑uploader) in all released versions up to and including 23.6. No specific version subrange is identified beyond the upper bound of 23.6.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.6 indicates a moderate impact level, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the likely attack vector involves a user providing unsanitized input—such as uploading a file or adding content—that contains script tags. An attacker would need to exploit this input path to render the injected code in a browser context, which may require that the target user has a browser session with the site. The risk is considered moderate but not critical.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the N‑Media Frontend File Manager plugin to any release newer than v23.6; if no patch is available, consider removing the plugin until an update is released.
  • Disable plugin functionality for unauthenticated users or restrict it exclusively to trusted administrator accounts.
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts and disallows execution of arbitrary JavaScript from the plugin’s output.
  • Sanitize all plugin‑generated output using a reputable library or WordPress’s built‑in functions to neutralize script‑related HTML tags.
