Description
The WP Nano AD plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘blogrole_link’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.31 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 WP Nano AD plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a stored cross‑site scripting attack when an administrator supplies data to the blogrole_link parameter. By injecting malicious scripts into this field, an attacker can insert code that will run in the browsers of any user who views the affected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft. The weakness is a classic input validation flaw and is documented as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects installations of the WP Nano AD plugin authored by ariyes, specifically all releases up to and including version 1.31. The impact is limited to multi‑site WordPress deployments where the unfiltered_html capability has been disabled, as those configurations allow the stored content to be rendered without further sanitization.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity. Because the exploit requires authenticated access with administrator privileges, the attack vector is local and relies on the existence of an admin account. EPSS data is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting that no widespread exploitation has been reported. Nevertheless, any organization that uses the affected plugin in a multi‑site setting should consider the risk high if administrator accounts exist and unfiltered_html is turned off.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP Nano AD to a version newer than 1.31, which contains the input sanitization fix for blogrole_link.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, temporarily disable the WP Nano AD plugin or remove the blogrole_link feature from public pages to prevent script injection.
  • Review administrator accounts and ensure that only trusted users possess upgrade‑level privileges; consider limiting the use of unfiltered_html on the site.
