CVE-2023-6783: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The WolfNet IDX for WordPress plugin version 1.19.1 and earlier contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape certain settings, which affects high-privilege users such as administrators (WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the plugin's settings where the 'Product Key' field is not properly sanitized. This allows administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, such as in multisite setups. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 3.5 (low) and is classified under CWE-79 (WPScan).

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow high-privilege users to inject malicious JavaScript code that would execute when other users access the affected pages. This could potentially lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no known fix available for this vulnerability. Users should consider implementing additional security measures or limiting access to the plugin's settings until a patch is released (WPScan).
