Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in stefanledin Responsify WP allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Responsify WP: from n/a through 1.9.11.
AnalysisAI
Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the Responsify WP WordPress plugin version 1.9.11 and earlier allows authenticated attackers with high privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages viewed by other users. The injected code executes in the victim’s browser when they access an affected page, potentially leading to session hijacking, content manipulation, or other client-side attacks. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been reported at this time.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of user input during web page generation (CWE-79) within the Responsify WP plugin for WordPress. The plugin fails to sanitize or encode stored data before displaying it to users, enabling stored XSS. The affected software is a WordPress plugin identified by the slug 'responsify-wp' on the Patchstack database, active on WordPress sites using versions up to 1.9.11. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network-accessible exploitation with low attack complexity but requires high-level privileges and user interaction, with scope change implying the injected script runs in a security context different from the vulnerable component.
RemediationAI
Update the Responsify WP plugin to a version higher than 1.9.11 as provided by the vendor. The Patchstack advisory implies a fix is available; refer to the plugin's WordPress.org or developer release notes for the specific patched version. If an update is not immediately possible, consider restricting access to the plugin's administrative interfaces to trusted administrators only and enforce strict Content Security Policies (CSP) to mitigate XSS execution. Disabling the plugin is a last-resort workaround but eliminates its functionality entirely.
