Description
The DA Media GigList plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's damedia_giglist shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-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 DA Media GigList plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting vulnerability in its damedia_giglist shortcode. Unsanitized user supplied attributes, particularly list_title, are stored and later rendered without proper escaping. An attacker who possesses contributor‑level or higher credentials can inject malicious scripts that will run in the browsers of any user who views a page containing the affected shortcode. This flaw compromises client‑side confidentiality, integrity, and non‑repudiation, and may lead to session hijacking or further exploitation of vulnerable sites.

Affected Systems

All installations of DA Media GigList up to and including version 1.9.0 that are enabled on a WordPress site are affected. Only authenticated users with contributor or higher permissions can abuse the flaw, and the payload is stored and executed whenever a page rendering the damedia_giglist shortcode is accessed by any visitor.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS vector assigns a score of 6.4, indicating moderate severity. The EPSS metric is reported as less than 1 %, implying a low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to be a contributor on the target WordPress installation and to submit a mangled list_title value; once stored, the code will execute on every page load for the shortcode, affecting all site visitors. While the exposure is limited to authenticated contributors, the impact on end‑users can be significant, and the low EPSS suggests that it has not yet been widely abused.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the DA Media GigList plugin to the latest version that addresses the XSS flaw.
  • If the plugin cannot be updated immediately, remove or disable the damedia_giglist shortcode on all public pages, or modify the plugin code to escape the list_title attribute before rendering.
  • Implement a content security policy that blocks inline scripts to mitigate any residual XSS execution on the site.
