DescriptionCVE.org

The NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster WordPress plugin before 4.4.8 does not escape some of the query-string parameters it reflects back on one of its admin pages, allowing attackers to perform Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks against logged-in users such as administrators who are tricked into opening a crafted link.

The plugin fails to escape query-string parameters before reflecting them in admin page output, a textbook CWE-79 failure. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Successful exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the NextScripts Social Networks Auto-Poster plugin at a version before 4.4.8 must be installed and active on the target WordPress site; (2) the victim must hold an administrator-level (or equivalent privileged) WordPress session active in their browser at the moment they access the crafted URL; and (3) the victim must be socially engineered into clicking the attacker-crafted link - exploitation cannot occur without this active user interaction (UI:R). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.1 score is elevated by the scope-change component (S:C) and the low-complexity network vector, but the UI:R constraint - requiring a logged-in administrator to click a crafted link - materially limits mass-exploitation potential. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
