Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Unlimited plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw that fails to neutralize user‑supplied input when rendering web pages. An attacker can inject malicious script that will run in the browsers of any user who views the affected page, potentially allowing session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement of the site. The weakness is classified as CWE‑79, indicating an input‑validation and output‑encoding issue.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to the Unlimited plugin produced by bensibley, affecting all releases from the earliest available version up through 1.45. Systems running the plugin in any of those versions are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity issue. The EPSS score of less than 1% reflects a low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. While the attack vector is not explicitly detailed, it is likely that an authenticated or unauthenticated user can induce the bad input through the plugin’s storage endpoints, enabling the XSS payload to persist and later be delivered to other users.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Unlimited to a version newer than 1.45 whenever an update becomes available.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, implement web‑application firewall rules to block or sanitize inputs that could contain script tags or event handlers.
  • Disable or restrict any features of the plugin that allow arbitrary user input, and ensure that all stored content is properly encoded before display.
