Description
The DeMomentSomTres Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'callout' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'width' and 'align' shortcode attributes within the st_callout() function, which concatenates the attribute values directly into an HTML style attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The DeMomentSomTres Shortcodes plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the callout shortcode when the width and align attributes are used. The plugin concatenates these attribute values directly into a style attribute without sanitization or escaping, enabling authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to embed arbitrary JavaScript in published content. When any visitor loads a page that contains the malicious shortcode, the injected script executes in that visitor’s browser context, which can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or further exploitation.

Affected Systems

This vulnerability affects all releases of the Marcqueralt DeMomentSomTres Shortcodes WordPress plugin up to and including version 1.1.1. Any WordPress site that hosts a vulnerable version and has users with contributor or greater access is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies this as a moderate severity flaw. Exploitation requires an authenticated contributor or higher, so an attacker must first obtain valid site credentials or elevated permissions. EPSS data is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating no confirmed widespread exploitation yet. Nevertheless, once the attacker can insert the payload, all visitors to the affected page become potential victims, making the risk significant for production sites that use the plugin.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the DeMomentSomTres Shortcodes plugin to version 1.1.2 or later.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, remove or disable the callout shortcode and deny contributor users the ability to add it to posts, or replace the shortcode functionality with a safe alternative that properly sanitizes attributes.
  • Implement a site‑wide Content Security Policy that disallows the execution of inline scripts, thereby limiting the impact of any residual XSS payloads.
