Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Matt Pramschufer AppBanners allows Stored XSS. This issue affects AppBanners: from n/a through 1.5.14.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in AppBanners WordPress plugin up to version 1.5.14 allows authenticated users with high privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view affected pages. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score is low (0.04%).
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the AppBanners WordPress plugin, which allows administrators to manage app banner advertisements. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An attacker with high privileges (e.g., admin) can inject arbitrary JavaScript into banner settings, which is stored and later executed in the browsers of other users viewing the banners. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, and scope change with low impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
RemediationAI
Update the AppBanners plugin to version 1.5.15 or later, which contains the fix. No workarounds are documented; as a compensating control, restrict plugin administration to trusted users only and consider using a web application firewall to filter malicious input.
