Description
The WMF Mobile Redirector plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-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 WMF Mobile Redirector plugin allows an attacker who has Administrator‑level access to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the plugin’s settings. Because the plugin fails to sanitize or escape the input, the injected code is stored and later executed whenever a user loads a page that includes the affected setting. This stored XSS can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or the injection of malicious content to other site visitors.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in the WMF Mobile Redirector WordPress plugin in all releases up to and including version 1.2. Any WordPress site that has this plugin installed and provides at least one administrative user can be impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 4.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS score is below 1 %, suggesting a low frequency of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires a valid administrator account; an unauthenticated attacker cannot exploit it directly. Consequently, the real‑world risk is limited to sites where administrator credentials are compromised or weak, but the injected script can affect all users who view the affected pages.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Disable or uninstall WMF Mobile Redirector to eliminate the vulnerable functionality.
  • Delete any malicious content that may have been injected into the plugin settings to avoid execution of stored scripts.
  • If the plugin is required, upgrade to the latest version that contains the fix, or apply a local patch that sanitizes the settings input and properly escapes output in line with best practices for CWE‑79.
