Description
The Tracking Code Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'TCM_ErrorMessages' POST Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Tracking Code Manager plugin for WordPress contains a reflected cross‑site scripting vulnerability that is triggered when an attacker submits a HTTP POST request with a malicious value in the TCM_ErrorMessages parameter. Because the plugin does not apply input sanitization or output escaping to this parameter, the supplied text is rendered directly in the page content. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can cause arbitrary JavaScript to execute in the browsers of users who visit a crafted page, giving the attacker the ability to run client‑side code within the site’s domain.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all releases of the data443 Tracking Code Manager WordPress plugin up to and including version 2.6.0. No operating‑system or PHP version constraints are stated, meaning any WordPress installation that uses one of these affected versions is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.1 classifies this flaw as medium severity. Exploit probability is not quantified because EPSS data is not available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. A likely attack requires an unauthenticated attacker to craft a POST request containing a malicious TCM_ErrorMessages value and convince a site visitor to load that page; once the page is rendered, the injected script runs in the visitor’s browser.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Tracking Code Manager plugin to any version newer than 2.6.0 to remove the reflected XSS flaw.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, limit the use of the plugin to authenticated administrators or otherwise restrict access to the plugin’s pages so that non‑privileged visitors cannot trigger the vulnerable parameter.
  • Apply output escaping to the TCM_ErrorMessages parameter (for example using WordPress’s esc_html() or wp_kses() functions) if you must keep the current version and cannot upgrade, to mitigate the immediate risk.
