Description
The Live Stream Badger plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'livestream' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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 Live Stream Badger plugin allows authenticated users with contributor‑level permissions or higher to insert arbitrary web scripts into the 'livestream' shortcode via unsanitized attributes. Those scripts are stored and will execute in the browsers of any site visitor who loads a page containing the injected shortcode. The exploit does not grant direct code execution on the server, but it can compromise the integrity of visited pages and potentially affect user session data or other client‑side resources as the attacker controls the injected script.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations that use the tkrivickas Live Stream Badger plugin version 1.4.3 or any earlier release are affected. All releases up to and including 1.4.3 contain the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the issue as moderate severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation under current conditions. The vulnerability is not included in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must be authenticated and possess at least contributor-level privileges to insert malicious attributes, after which the injected scripts run in any user’s browser that views the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Live Stream Badger plugin to a version newer than 1.4.3, which contains the required input sanitization fix.
  • Scan all content that uses the 'livestream' shortcode for embedded scripts that were not part of the original design and remove or neutralize them.
  • Restrict or remove contributor‑level users’ ability to add or edit the livestream shortcode, or apply stricter server‑side validation to prevent malicious attribute values.
