Description
The Website LLMs.txt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'tab' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.2.6. This is due to the use of filter_input() without a sanitization filter and insufficient 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 Website LLMs.txt plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to reflected XSS because it processes the 'tab' parameter with filter_input() without sanitization and fails to escape output. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute in a browser when a page containing the reflected value is loaded, enabling session hijacking, data theft, or defacement. This flaw is classified as CWE‑79 and affects only the reflection of user input.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability applies to the Website LLMs.txt plugin developed by ryhowa and is present in all WordPress installations running version 8.2.6 or earlier. No other vendors or product variants are mentioned.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.1 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at present. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL that includes a payload in the 'tab' parameter and persuading a site administrator to click the link, such as via phishing or social engineering. No authentication is required to trigger the reflected script, but successful execution could grant the attacker the privileges of the administrator who loads the page.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Website LLMs.txt plugin to the latest available version (greater than 8.2.6) which removes the unsanitized parameter handling.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, modify server-side code or configuration to HTML‑escape the 'tab' query parameter before output, or otherwise prevent it from being reflected.
  • Implement a web application firewall rule that rejects or sanitizes suspicious script content in GET parameters to reduce the risk of accidental execution when an admin clicks a malicious link.
