AI Analysis

Impact

Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. Welcome Bar intelly‑welcome‑bar is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting, allowing malicious input to be saved and executed inside visitors’ browsers. This can lead to credential theft, cookie hijacking, or site defacement when unsuspecting users load the compromised page. The CVSS score of 5.9 classifies the vulnerability as moderate severity but still poses a real risk of user‑level compromise.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Welcome Bar plugin from Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc., specifically all releases up to and including version 2.0.4. Any WordPress site that has installed a version dated n/a through 2.0.4 is potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score of < 1% indicates that current exploitation is predicted to be very low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, the stored nature of the flaw means an attacker who can submit a command through the plugin’s configuration interface can inject JavaScript that will be served to every site visitor. The likely attack vector is an administrator or user with access to the plugin’s settings page, who inserts a malicious payload that the plugin fails to neutralize in the generated HTML.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Welcome Bar plugin to version 2.0.5 or later to remove the stored XSS flaw.
  • Restrict administrative access to the plugin’s configuration pages so that only trusted users can edit its settings, minimizing the chance for an attacker to inject malicious code.
  • Implement input validation or web application firewall rules to filter out malicious scripts from the plugin’s configuration interface until the vulnerability is fixed.
