AI Analysis

Impact

The CatFolders Document Gallery & PDF Library WordPress plugin before 2.0.7 does not validate a block attribute before using it as an HTML tag name in its gallery output. This flaw allows a user with the Author role or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the browsers of anyone who views the affected post, resulting in stored cross‑site scripting that can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the site.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the CatFolders Document Gallery & PDF Library plugin installed with any version older than 2.0.7. The plugin vendor is unknown; the flaw affects all installations of that plugin regardless of WordPress version.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the exploit requires a user with Author privileges, the attack is confined to authenticated users. The vulnerability is persistent: once injected code appears in a post, every visitor to that post will have the script executed. The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a low exploitation likelihood. The CVSS score of 6.8 indicates medium severity. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of input validation and the potential for widespread impact imply a moderate severity risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the CatFolders plugin to version 2.0.7 or later
  • Restrict the capabilities of the Author role so that such users can no longer add posts that could contain the block attribute injection
  • Apply a Web Application Firewall rule or other content‑security‑policy measures to block unexpected script tags from rendering in the gallery output
