Impact
The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the MultiSite Clone Duplicator plugin, allowing reflected XSS. This flaw (CWE-79) permits an attacker to inject script payloads into pages viewed by other users. Successful exploitation could lead to cookie theft, session hijacking or defacement of the WordPress site.
Affected Systems
The affected software is Globalis’ MultiSite Clone Duplicator plugin for WordPress multisite installations, versions from earlier releases through 1.5.3. Any installation of the plugin at or below 1.5.3 is potentially vulnerable, regardless of WordPress core version.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS base score of 7.1 indicates a moderate impact if exploited. The EPSS score is below 1%, suggesting a low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The likely attack vector is the web interface where plugin parameters are reflected in responses. Administrators should assume the risk until the plugin is patched.
