MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires authenticated administrator-level (or higher) access to reach the plugin's 'fb-config' setting (PR:H). Practical exploitation is meaningfully limited to WordPress MULTISITE installations where site administrators do NOT hold the unfiltered_html capability - on standard single-site installs an administrator can already inject scripts legitimately, so the flaw adds little. Payload executes only when a victim (notably the network super administrator) subsequently accesses the page rendering the injected setting. AC:H reflects this non-default multisite/capability precondition. |
| Impact | This is a high-CVSS-label-notwithstanding LOW real-world priority. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, base 4.4 MEDIUM) already reflects the core limiter: PR:H means exploitation requires administrator-level access, and an administrator on a standard single-site WordPress install already holds the unfiltered_html capability and can post arbitrary scripts legitimately - so the flaw grants little the attacker cannot already do. The genuine risk is confined to the multisite scenario Wordfence calls out: site administrators do NOT hold unfiltered_html there, so the fb-config stored XSS becomes a privilege-escalation vector to attack the network super administrator (hence S:C scope change and C:L/I:L). AC:H captures that this non-default multisite precondition must hold. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are present in the input, all consistent with a low-urgency, difficult-to-mass-exploit issue. No signal conflicts are present; the vector and description agree. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | On a WordPress multisite network, a malicious or compromised site-level administrator (who lacks unfiltered_html) saves a JavaScript payload into the plugin's 'fb-config' Facebook setting. When the network super administrator later views a page that renders the injected setting, the script executes in the super admin's authenticated session, enabling account takeover of the highest-privileged network account. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 19, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the OTP Login & Register Woocommerce plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 2.7.3) allows authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'fb-config' setting. Exploitation is practically limited to multisite installations where site administrators lack the unfiltered_html capability, potentially allowing them to target the network super administrator. No public exploit code has been identified, and the overall real-world risk is assessed as low despite the moderate CVSS score.
RemediationAI
Apply the upstream fix referenced in the plugin's Trac changeset 3682327 and update to a version later than 2.7.3, as the vendor has released a code change that addresses the vulnerability; a specific patched version number is not explicitly stated in the available data. If an immediate update is not feasible, consider disabling the plugin on WordPress multisite installations where site administrators lack the unfiltered_html capability, as this is the primary exploitation scenario. Additionally, restrict administrator-level accounts to trusted users and ensure the unfiltered_html capability is properly managed. Implementing a web application firewall (WAF) rule to block XSS payloads in the 'fb-config' parameter can provide temporary mitigation, though it may require customization. Note that on single-site installations the vulnerability adds minimal risk because administrators already have the ability to inject unfiltered HTML. The vendor advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ab4bfd2f-6277-47d6-80ac-957b93476ed1?source=cve provides further details.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a classic CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) in the WordPress plugin OTP Login & Register Woocommerce (slug: mobile-login-woocommerce). The plugin's 'fb-config' setting, likely used for Facebook login configuration, fails to properly sanitize user input and escape output when rendering the setting in admin pages. This allows an authenticated attacker with administrator-level privileges (PR:H) to store malicious JavaScript that executes when a victim views the affected page. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates that exploitation requires high complexity and high privileges, and the scope is changed because the script can impact the network super administrator on multisite setups. On standard single-site WordPress installations, administrators already possess the unfiltered_html capability, so the flaw offers little additional advantage. The referenced Trac file links (class-xoo-ml-frontend.php line 153 and class-xoo-admin-settings.php lines 306 and 411) likely correspond to the output and input points where sanitization is missing.

Severity by source
AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
PR:H because only administrators reach the fb-config sink; AC:H because meaningful impact needs the multisite-without-unfiltered_html condition; S:C and C:L/I:L reflect script execution in a higher-privileged super-admin context.

DescriptionCVE.org
The OTP Login & Register Woocommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'fb-config' Setting in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. On multisite installations where administrators do not hold the unfiltered_html capability, this vulnerability can be leveraged to target the network super administrator.
