WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The WP ULike WordPress plugin before version 4.7.6 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This security issue affects high-privilege users such as administrators, allowing them to perform Stored XSS attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, which is particularly concerning in multisite setups (WPScan).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from improper sanitization and escaping of certain settings within the plugin. The issue has been assigned a CVSS score of 3.5 (low severity). The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79: Cross-Site Scripting and falls under the OWASP Top 10 category A7: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) (WPScan).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows administrators to inject malicious JavaScript code through the plugin's settings, which can then be executed in other users' browsers. This is particularly concerning in multisite WordPress installations where the unfiltered_html capability is typically restricted (WPScan).
Mitigation and workarounds
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 4.7.6 of the WP ULike plugin. Site administrators should update to this version or later to mitigate the security risk (WPScan).
