Description
The MinhNhut Link Gateway plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's settings (Description, Title, and other fields) in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the redirect page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The MinhNhut Link Gateway plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in its settings fields such as Description and Title. An attacker who has Administrator or higher privileges can insert arbitrary JavaScript into these fields, which is then served to all users who visit the plugin’s redirect page, causing the malicious script to execute in their browsers.

Affected Systems

All installations of MinhNhut Link Gateway version 3.6.1 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability only manifests on WordPress multi‑site networks where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled. Single‑site installations or those with unfiltered_html enabled are not impacted by this issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.4 classifies this flaw as moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating it is not known to have been exploited. Exploitation requires that the attacker already has Administrator or higher access to the WordPress network; once the malicious script is stored, it is automatically delivered to all users who view the redirect page, making the attack straightforward for any privileged user who changes the plugin’s settings.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update MinhNhut Link Gateway to a version newer than 3.6.1 to eliminate the XSS vulnerability.
  • Ensure that every site in the multi‑site network has the updated plugin installed and no script‑containing data remains in the settings.
  • Manually review existing configuration values for the plugin’s settings and remove any embedded JavaScript before applying updates.
