Description
The Twitter Feeds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tweet_title' parameter in the 'TwitterFeeds' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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

Stored XSS in the Twitter Feeds WordPress plugin arises from unsanitized consumption of the 'tweet_title' attribute within its shortcode. Attackers with Contributor or higher permissions can embed malicious scripts that are rendered when other users view the affected page, enabling unauthorized code execution. The flaw aligns with CWE‑79 and compromises client‑side confidentiality and integrity by executing attacker‑controlled code in users’ browsers.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability is confined to the viaviwebtech Twitter Feeds plugin for WordPress, impacting all releases through version 1.0.0. Sites running any of these affected versions may permit contributors to embed harmful content.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.4 reflects moderate severity, while the EPSS score is unavailable, leaving the exact exploitation likelihood uncertain. The flaw is not yet known to be actively exploited and is absent from the CISA KEV list. Successful exploitation requires an authenticated Contributor‑level account and the use of the vulnerable 'tweet_title' attribute. Once activated, the injected script executes in the context of arbitrary visitors accessing the contaminated page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Twitter Feeds plugin to a version that no longer processes the 'tweet_title' shortcode without sanitization.
  • If no upgrade is available, restrict the Contributor role or higher from using the shortcode that includes the 'tweet_title' parameter.
  • Implement content filtering or a sanitized wrapper for the 'tweet_title' attribute through a custom plugin or code snippet.
  • Add a Content Security Policy that blocks inline scripts to mitigate potential execution of injected code.
