AI Analysis

Impact

A reflected cross‑site scripting flaw in the Netgsm WordPress plugin allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript when an affected user requests a page that reflects the malicious input. The injected script can steal cookies, perform actions on behalf of the user, deface content, or redirect to phishing sites. The weakness is a typical input‑validation problem (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that include the Netgsm plugin version 2.9.63 or earlier are vulnerable. All sites running these plugin versions should be considered compromised until the issue is fixed or mitigated.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high risk to confidentiality and integrity. The EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests that real‑world exploitation is currently uncommon, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires an attacker to supply malicious input via a normal HTTP request, making it a reflected XSS that can be triggered by a malicious link or form input visible to the user.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Netgsm plugin to a version newer than 2.9.63 to remove the reflected XSS issue.
  • If an immediate update is impossible, modify the plugin to properly escape or sanitize all user‑controlled data before output, for example by using WordPress functions such as esc_html() or wp_kses().
  • Implement a strong Content Security Policy that limits script sources to trusted origins, reducing the impact of any remaining reflected scripts.
  • Disable the Netgsm plugin on sites that do not require its functionality until a patched version is available.
