AI Analysis

Impact

The 10Web Booster WordPress plugin before version 2.33.5 fails to verify an access token in an unauthenticated request handler and renders attacker‑supplied stylesheet content in the page head without escaping. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to store markup that executes as JavaScript in the browsers of anonymous visitors to any affected page, enabling cross‑site scripting attacks.

Affected Systems

All sites running the 10Web Booster plugin from an unknown vendor, version 2.33.4 and earlier. No specific operating system or platform restrictions are noted; the vulnerability exists solely within the WordPress plugin code.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 4.7, indicating low severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests the likelihood of exploitation is low, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability from any network location by submitting crafted data to the critical‑CSS token endpoint; no authentication or elevated privileges are required, so the attack vector is unauthenticated. The impact is limited to the browsers of visitors who view the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the 10Web Booster plugin to version 2.33.5 or later, which implements proper token validation and escapes stylesheet content.
  • If the plugin cannot be upgraded immediately, disable or uninstall it on affected sites to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Add a rule to your web application firewall that blocks requests attempting to inject stylesheet content via the critical‑CSS token endpoint.
