AI Analysis

Impact

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting occurs in the GetGenie WordPress plugin for versions 4.4.3 and earlier. The flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into the page output on any page served by the plugin. Because it does not require authentication, any visitor can trigger it, potentially enabling malicious script execution in the browsers of site visitors.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the GetGenie plugin released by Roxnor. It is present in all versions up to and including 4.4.3, which can be installed on any WordPress site that includes this plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity. The EPSS score of < 1% indicates a very low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the flaw does not require authentication, any visitor to the site can trigger it, potentially allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into the output.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress GetGenie Plugin to the latest available version (at least 4.5.0).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the GetGenie plugin to version 4.5.0 or newer, as released by Roxnor.
  • If an update is not immediately feasible, disable or remove the plugin from the WordPress installation to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Ensure that any inputs from users are properly validated and output is encoded using an appropriate contextual escaping strategy to mitigate XSS as CWE‑79 specifies, which protects against malicious script injection.
