Description
The WOLF WordPress plugin before 1.1.0 does not perform a nonce or capability check on one of its AJAX actions, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to trick a logged-in administrator into writing arbitrary content, including a malicious script, into a post via a cross-site request, resulting in stored Cross-Site Scripting.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WOLF WordPress plugin allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted request that a logged‑in administrator happily processes, because the plugin does not perform a nonce or capability check on one of its AJAX actions. Based on the description, the vulnerability exploits a lack of security checks and relies on cross‑site request forgery to write arbitrary content, including malicious JavaScript, into a post. The stored XSS can be used to steal session cookies, deface the site, or redirect users. The weakness is identified as CWE‑352 (Cross‑Site Request Forgery) and CWE‑79 (Cross‑Site Scripting).

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the WOLF Post Bulk Editor and Manager WordPress plugin versions older than 1.1.0, which is commonly installed on WordPress sites via the official repository or third‑party sources. Any WordPress installation that has this plugin installed and has not upgraded to 1.1.0 or later is vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.1 classifies the issue as high severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, indicating a low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only that an unauthenticated attacker entice a privileged administrator to visit a crafted link or form—social engineering or a malicious link in email or comment could suffice. Once triggered, the attacker can embed arbitrary script in posts, compromising site integrity and potentially stealing user credentials.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WOLF plugin to version 1.1.0 or later, which restores the missing nonce and capability checks on the affected AJAX action.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, uninstall or deactivate the plugin to eliminate the attack surface.
  • As an interim measure, ensure that all AJAX requests on the site include a valid nonce and that only users with administrative privileges can execute post‑editing actions; enable or implement capability checks in the plugin configuration if available.
