Description
The InteractiveCalculator for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'interactivecalculator' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3 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 InteractiveCalculator for WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored Cross‑Site Scripting due to insufficient sanitization of the 'id' attribute in its shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor access and higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will run for any visitor to a page containing the shortcode. This allows attackers to deface content, steal session cookies, or launch phishing attacks against site users, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the website’s users and data.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running InteractiveCalculator for WordPress plugin versions 1.0.3 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability exists in all releases up to and including 1.0.3. Sites using newer plugin releases are not impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies this flaw as a moderate severity issue. The EPSS score of less than 1% indicates that the likelihood of exploitation in the wild is very low as of the last assessment. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authenticated access with contributor privileges, implying that the attack surface is limited to sites where such users exist. Once injected, the malicious script executes on every user visit to the affected page, making the damage immediate and pervasive.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the InteractiveCalculator plugin to the latest available version, if a patch addressing this issue has been released.
  • If an immediate plugin upgrade is not possible, deactivate the 'id' shortcode attribute or remove the shortcode from the content to eliminate the vector of injection.
  • Implement stricter role‑based access controls to limit contributor-level permissions to only trusted users, reducing the number of potential attackers who could add or modify shortcode content.
