AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored Cross‑Site Scripting flaw in the Woobox plugin for WordPress, caused by improper neutralization of user input during page rendering. An attacker can deliver malicious JavaScript that will be executed in the browsers of any user who views pages generated by a compromised instance of the plugin, potentially allowing cookie theft, session hijacking, or redirection to malicious sites. The weakness aligns with CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include installations of the Woobox plugin for WordPress with version numbers from the initial release up to and including 1.6. The product is identified by the vendor name Woobox. No specific sub‑versions are listed beyond the upper bound of 1.6.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the issue is not currently listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that an attacker deliver malicious input that the plugin stores and subsequently renders without proper escaping; users visiting impacted pages would be the target, making the attack vector Web‑application based.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Woobox plugin to version 1.7 or later, which contains the fix for the stored XSS vulnerability.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable or remove any custom form fields or content generation features exposed by the plugin that accept user input, or apply server‑side sanitization to strip script tags before storage.
  • Implement a Content Security Policy that restricts inline scripts and disallows execution of untrusted code, thereby reducing the impact of any remaining XSS payloads.
