AI Analysis

Impact

The Include URL plugin for WordPress contains an improper neutralization of input during web page generation, resulting in a stored cross‑site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Malicious scripts can be stored by an attacker and executed when other users view pages that include the stored content, potentially allowing arbitrary script execution in victims’ browsers.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Include URL plugin developed by samsk. All releases identified as n/a through version 0.3.5 are affected. Site owners using any version up to and including 0.3.5 should verify their installations and seek a fix.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS probability is below 1 %, and the flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting a lower likelihood of widespread exploitation. Based on the description, it is inferred that attackers who can submit content to the plugin are able to inject malicious scripts; the impact applies to all site visitors who view affected content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Include URL plugin to the latest available version when a vendor‑released fix is released.
  • If an update is not available, disable the plugin to prevent untrusted input from being stored or executed.
  • If disabling is not feasible, remove the plugin files entirely and consider using a vetted alternative that sanitizes user input properly.
