Description
The hiWeb Migration Simple plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'new_domain' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0.1 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 an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The hiWeb Migration Simple plugin for WordPress contains a reflected Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that permits attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the 'new_domain' query parameter. The plugin fails to sanitize or escape the parameter before reflecting it back to the page, allowing a crafted URL to deliver malicious script to a victim. When a site administrator clicks such a link, the code executes in the administrator's browser, potentially exposing session cookies, login credentials, or enabling further phishing attacks.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the hiWeb Migration Simple plugin developed by den‑media for WordPress. All releases up to and including version 2.0.0.1 are impacted. No other vendors or products are listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 classifies the issue as moderate severity. Exploitation does not require authentication; an attacker only needs to persuade an administrator to click a malicious link, making the attack a social‑engineering vector. The EPSS score is currently unavailable and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known widespread exploitation yet. Nonetheless, any WordPress site running a vulnerable instance of the plugin should remediate promptly to close the opportunity for malicious script execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the hiWeb Migration Simple plugin to the latest release, which removes the reflected XSS vector.
  • Limit administrative access to trusted users only and enable multi‑factor authentication to reduce the chance of a successful social‑engineering attempt.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, remove or defensively encode the 'new_domain' parameter or enforce a strict content‑security policy to mitigate the impact of any reflected scripts.
