Description
The Easy Property Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'facebook' User Contact Method in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.24 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-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 Easy Property Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to stored cross‑site scripting through the 'facebook' user contact method. The flaw arises because input entered via this field is neither properly sanitized nor properly escaped before being stored, allowing an attacker who is authenticated at the subscriber level or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript. When a user accesses a page that includes the stored data, the injected script executes in that user's browser.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Easy Property Listings plugin for WordPress, version 3.5.24 and earlier. Any WordPress site that uses this plugin and permits subscriber‑level users to interact with the 'facebook' contact method is impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation. The issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated subscriber‑level access to submit a value via the 'facebook' field; once injected, the malicious script runs client‑side in any user's browser that views the affected page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Easy Property Listings plugin to a version newer than 3.5.24 as soon as a fix is available.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable or remove the 'facebook' user contact method from the plugin configuration, or modify the source files to properly escape or sanitize inputs before they are stored.
  • Keep the core WordPress installation and PHP runtime updated to the latest security releases, and consider implementing a web‑application firewall to filter or block suspicious payloads that may target the plugin’s input fields.
