Description
The Print, PDF, Email by PrintFriendly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'content_position_css' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.10 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-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 Print, PDF, Email by PrintFriendly WordPress plugin contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the ‘content sanitization and escaping allows an administrator‑level user to embed arbitrary JavaScript, which the plugin later outputs as part of a page. This lets the attacker run code in all visitors’ browsers, potentially stealing session cookies, injecting phishing content, or delivering further malicious payloads. The weakness is a classic input‑validation issue, identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site that has the Print, PDF, Email by PrintFriendly also contain the same code. Site owners should verify the installed plugin version and update to the latest release available from the vendor.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS base score of 4.4 the vulnerability is classified as moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % indicates a very low probability of exploitation in the wild and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The flaw requires prior administrator‑level access; once the malicious script is stored it runs for all front‑end users, enabling attackers to compromise user confidentiality and integrity. Although the likelihood of exploitation is low, the potential damage from widespread client‑side code execution warrants prompt mitigation.
