A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Metagauss RegistrationMagic WordPress plugin affecting versions through 5.2.5.9. The vulnerability was discovered on March 16, 2024, and allows unauthenticated attackers to perform reflected XSS attacks (Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) and has received varying CVSS scores. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (Medium) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, while Patchstack assessed it at 7.1 (High) with vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L (NVD).

The vulnerability could allow malicious actors to inject malicious scripts, including redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads into the website, which would be executed when visitors access the site. This creates potential risks for website visitors and could lead to compromised user interactions (Patchstack).

The vulnerability requires no authentication to exploit, though it does require user interaction. The attacks can be automated, and hackers typically target vulnerabilities opportunistically to compromise as many websites as possible before patches are applied (Patchstack).

Users are advised to update to RegistrationMagic version 5.2.6.0 or later to resolve the vulnerability. Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate this issue by blocking potential attacks until users can update to the fixed version (Patchstack).
