AI Analysis

Impact

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exists in WordPress Convert Pro plugin versions 1.0.1 and earlier. The issue arises when user‑supplied input is rendered by the plugin without proper encoding, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary client‑side script that runs in the browsers of visitors who view the affected content. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or delivery of malware to unsuspecting users, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site for end users.

Affected Systems

The WordPress Convert Pro plugin (WP Grids:Convert Pro) on all WordPress sites installed with version 1.0.1 or earlier is impacted. Any site using those versions may be exposed until the plugin is upgraded to a patched release.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 7.1 the vulnerability is classified as high severity. The EPSS score is not available; however, the lack of authentication requirements means a remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability by submitting a crafted HTTP request to a page rendered by the plugin. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, so no known exploit has been tracked in that catalog. The straightforward nature of the payload and lack of constraints lower the technical barrier to exploitation compared to more complex vector types.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Convert Pro Plugin to the latest available version (at least 1.0.2).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WordPress Convert Pro plugin to version 1.0.2 or later to eliminate the vulnerable input handling paths.
  • If an immediate update cannot be performed, temporarily disable or uninstall the Convert Pro plugin to remove the attack surface.
  • If the plugin must remain for operational reasons, limit its use to trusted administrators and reduce exposure by disabling content creation features for untrusted users.
  • Deploy a site‑wide Content Security Policy that prevents inline scripts and blocks the execution of untrusted JavaScript to mitigate any remaining XSS vectors.
