Description
The Campus Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘noaccess_msg’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.1 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 Campus Directory WordPress plugin stores arbitrary JavaScript supplied through the noaccess_msg parameter when an authenticated user has Contributor or higher privileges. The injected code is executed whenever any visitor loads a page containing the value, creating a stored XSS flaw that can reveal sensitive information or alter user experience.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects the emarket‑design Campus Directory – Faculty, Staff & Student Directory plugin for WordPress, in all releases up to and including version 1.9.1.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 6.4, the flaw is considered moderate. The EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates that, so far, exploitation is unlikely, and it is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. However, because the attack requires only Contributor‑level access, an attacker who can author or edit content can readily exploit the flaw. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could exploit the stored script to steal credentials, deface content, or redirect users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Campus Directory plugin to any version newer than 1.9.1, which contains the input‑sanitization fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, configure strict filtering or remove the noaccess_msg parameter from all front‑end forms to prevent unsanitized script storage.
  • Reduce the privileges of Contributor‑level users or deny them content‑editing capabilities until the patch is applied.
