Description
The Mixtape plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'mixtape' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 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 plugin’s shortcode fails to sanitize user‑supplied attributes, allowing an authenticated contributor to embed JavaScript that is stored and rendered on any page containing the shortcode. When other visitors load the page, the injected script executes in their browsers, potentially stealing session cookies, defacing content, or executing additional malicious payloads. This constitutes a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability capable of affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user sessions.

Affected Systems

All releases of the Mixtape WordPress plugin distributed by natata7 up to and including version 1.1 are affected. WordPress sites installing these plugin versions are potentially vulnerable; no further WordPress core version restrictions are noted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation in the wild. The flaw requires Contributor or higher privileges, so it is primarily exploitable by compromised or malicious insiders or by users who collaborate with such insiders. Once injected, the stored script is delivered to every visitor of the affected page, allowing the attacker to indirectly impact other users. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so no current known exploitation campaigns target it, but its impact is significant if an insider with sufficient privileges obtains it.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Mixtape plugin to version 1.2 or later, which removes the vulnerable shortcode handler.
  • If an upgrade is unavailable, disable or delete the Mixtape plugin altogether to eliminate the storage vector.
  • Revoke Contributor or higher privileges from users who do not require that role, and restrict access to trusted users only.
