Description
The web-cam plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘slug’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.0 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 web‑cam plugin for WordPress is susceptible to stored Cross‑Site Scripting caused by inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on the 'slug’ field. Authenticated users with Contributor level or higher can submit any JavaScript payload that will be persisted in the database and executed each time a user loads the affected page. This allows arbitrary script execution by users who view the injected page.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the WordPress plugin "web‑cam" developed by murtuzamakda52. All released versions up to and including 3.0 are impacted; no mitigations or patches are provided for these specific releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of <1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the exploitation requires authenticated Contributor‑level access, an attacker must be able to log into the site with sufficient privileges to insert the payload. Once injected, the scripts run for any user who loads the stored page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Disable or delete the web‑cam plugin if you cannot upgrade to a version that fixes the XSS flaw.
  • Reduce or remove Contributor or higher role permissions to prevent malicious payload submission.
  • Deploy a Content Security Policy that blocks inline script execution and disallows eval to mitigate XSS impact.
