The vulnerability CVE-2022-3892 affects the WP OAuth Server WordPress plugin versions below 4.2.2. This security flaw was discovered and publicly disclosed on November 8, 2022. The vulnerability is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue that affects the plugin's Client ID handling functionality (WPScan).
The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization and escaping of Client IDs in the WP OAuth Server plugin. The issue persists even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, such as in multisite setups. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 3.4 (low severity) and is classified under CWE-79. Version 4.2.1 attempted to address the issue by adding sanitization but lacked proper escaping mechanisms, which still left the plugin vulnerable to certain XSS payloads (WPScan).
The vulnerability allows high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This could potentially lead to the execution of malicious JavaScript code in the context of other users' browsers who access the affected pages (WPScan).
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 4.2.2 of the WP OAuth Server plugin. Users are advised to update to this version or later to mitigate the security risk (WPScan).
