Description
The Mang Board WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the board_header and board_footer parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MangBoard WP plugin is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting via its board_header and board_footer parameters. An administrator‑level user can inject arbitrary web scripts that are rendered on any page that loads the manipulated content, potentially enabling session hijacking, defacement, or other client‑side attacks. The weakness is a classic input validation and output escaping flaw (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

All installs of the kitae‑park MangBoard WP plugin up to and including version 1.8.6 are affected. The issue exists only on WordPress multisite sites where the unfiltered_html option has been disabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 indicates a moderate risk level, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at present. The vulnerability is not present in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator with access to the plugin’s settings on a multisite installation where unfiltered_html is off. Under those conditions an attacker can inject malicious scripts that will execute automatically when users visit the affected pages.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade MangBoard WP to the latest version (≥1.8.7) or any release that removes the vulnerable board_header and board_footer inputs.
  • Restrict administrator accounts and enforce least‑privilege access so that only trusted users can modify plugin settings.
  • If an upgrade is not available, disable the plugin or remove the board_header and board_footer features to prevent the injection of unescaped content.
