Description
The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'url (comment_author_url)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 13.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the affected page to be configured with a GreenShift Interaction Layer attach-attribute action that copies a comment-author anchor's href into a Counter block's data-prefix or data-postfix attribute; given that configuration, the payload executes for every visitor who loads the Counter into the viewport once the comment is published.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin contains a stored DOM-Based Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that arises when the comment author URL field is not properly sanitized or escaped. When an attacker posts a comment with a malicious URL, and the page uses an Interaction Layer attach‑attribute action that copies that URL into a Counter block’s data‑prefix or data‑postfix attribute, the browser will execute the embedded script for every visitor who loads the Counter block. This enables arbitrary JavaScript execution in the site’s context, potentially allowing session hijacking, cookie theft, defacement or phishing attacks. The vulnerability is driven by unsanitized user input stored in the comment record and later rendered by the plugin’s Counter component.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress, distributed by wpsoul. Versions up to and including 13.2.2 are vulnerable. No specific sub‑versions are listed beyond the upper bound of 13.2.2.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity level. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting limited public exploitation to date. However, exploitation requires unauthenticated access to the comment interface and that the site’s pages contain the vulnerable Interaction Layer configuration. If both conditions are present, any page visitor can be exposed to malicious script execution.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Greenshift plugin to a version newer than 13.2.2 (e.g., 13.2.3 or later) when a fix is released.
  • Reconfigure or disable the Interaction Layer attach‑attribute action that copies comment‑author URLs into Counter block attributes, or remove Counter blocks altogether until the plugin is updated.
  • Sanitize and validate comment author URLs using WordPress core or a dedicated plugin to strip or encode URLs before they are stored.
