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 vulnerability that allows any authenticated user with administrator-level privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the content_position_css parameter. The unsanitized input is later output in page content, giving an attacker the ability to execute code in the browsers of all site visitors, potentially stealing session cookies, injecting phishing content, or delivering further malware. This is a classic input‑validation weakness, identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site running the Print, PDF, Email by PrintFriendly plugin up to and including version 5.5.10 is affected. Site owners should verify the installed plugin version and apply the latest release from the vendor to eliminate the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 4.4 classifies this flaw as moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % suggests a very low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not found in CISA’s KEV catalog. Exploitation requires prior administrator access, but once a malicious script is stored it runs for every front‑end user, compromising confidentiality and integrity on the client side. Although the likelihood of exploitation is low, the potential damage to users warrants prompt remediation.

  • Limit access to the PrintFriendly settings page to administrators and review existing options for unexpected changes that could indicate injected payloads.
