Description
The OpenSheetMusicDisplay plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘className’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The OpenSheetMusicDisplay WordPress plugin allows a stored XSS when the className parameter is not sanitized, enabling an attacker with Contributor or higher access to inject JavaScript that executes whenever a user loads a page that references the malicious className. This stored payload can modify displayed content or steal sensitive information, falling under CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include the opensheetmusicdisplay plugin deployed in WordPress installations running any version up to and including 1.4.0. Any WordPress site that has installed that plugin and has users with Contributor or higher level privileges is potentially impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 signals a medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of widespread exploitation at the moment. Because the vulnerability requires authenticated access, the risk is confined to sites where attacker accounts exist or could be compromised; still, without a KEV listing the exploit reference is limited. Nonetheless, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of site visitors, posing a risk to confidentiality and integrity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the plugin to any release newer than 1.4.0 that includes the className input sanitization fix.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or remove the feature that processes the className parameter, or set the parameter to a whitelist of acceptable values.
  • Apply a web‑application firewall rule or content‑security‑policy that blocks reflected or stored scripts targeting the plugin’s output to further reduce risk.
