Description
The Graphina - Elementor Charts and Graphs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple chart widget parameters in version 3.1.3 and below. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes such as chart categories, titles, and tooltip settings. 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

Graphina in version 3.1.3 and earlier stores user‑supplied chart attributes without sanitization, allowing a logged‑in user with contributor or higher role to inject arbitrary JavaScript that persists in the chart configuration. When any site visitor loads a page containing the compromised chart, the injected script will execute in the visitor’s browser, potentially allowing credential theft, session hijacking or other malicious actions. The flaw is a classic reflected input validation weakness classified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is present in the Graphina – Charts and Graphs For Elementor plugin developed by iqonicdesign, affecting all releases up to and including 3.1.3. No other vendors are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 6.4, indicating a medium severity, and has an EPSS score of < 1 %, suggesting a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attacker must first authenticate with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious input, but once a chart contains the payload, the compromised code executes for all users who view that page. Due to the requirement of an authenticated attacker and the need for human interaction to inject the payload, the overall risk remains moderate but non‑negligible for sites that rely heavily on this plugin.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Graphina plugin to the latest version that removes the XSS vulnerability
  • Restrict Contributor and higher roles to trusted users or temporarily remove the capability if the plugin is not yet updated
  • If immediate upgrade is not possible, whitelist or sanitize the chart widget parameters to prevent script injection
