Description
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'stm_f_s' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.123 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The nonce required by the stm_ajax_add_a_car AJAX handler is emitted in wp_footer on every page, making it accessible to any authenticated user and removing any practical barrier to exploitation at the Subscriber level.

AI Analysis

Impact

The plugin’s stm_f_s parameter is not sanitized, letting authenticated subscribers inject scripts that are stored and executed when the page loads. This results in the ability to run arbitrary JavaScript in users’ browsers, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and potentially defacing content.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites using the stylemix Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin version 1.4.123 or earlier are affected. No specific OS or PHP version restrictions are noted. The issue exists in all versions up to and including 1.4.123.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. The absence of an EPSS score means current exploitation probability is unknown, but the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires only subscriber‑level authentication, and the nonce is publicly available via the footer, making exploitation straightforward for any authenticated user. Reducing the risk relies on updating the plugin or applying an equivalent mitigation.

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Motors plugin to the latest version (≥1.4.124) where this vulnerability is patched.
  • If an update is unavailable or delayed, disable the stm_f_s parameter functionality or remove the vulnerable JavaScript code from the pages through a custom function or patch.
  • Ensure that only users with higher privileges can access or modify car listings, and enforce stricter input validation on the parameter to avoid future XSS.
