The Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons WordPress plugin before 3.0.1 does not properly escape a value taken from the incoming request before outputting it in an inline JavaScript event handler, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which is triggered when a user interacts with the affected button. Exploitation requires the Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons WordPress plugin before 3.0.1 to be running a non-default icon display configuration.
AnalysisAI
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in the Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons WordPress plugin (all versions before 3.0.1) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in a victim's browser by embedding a malicious payload in a crafted URL targeting an unescaped request parameter rendered inside an inline JavaScript event handler. Exploitation is constrained to sites running a non-default icon display configuration, and requires the victim to interact with the affected share button. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons plugin must be installed at a version earlier than 3.0.1 AND the site operator must have enabled a non-default icon display configuration - default installations are not vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 7.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) captures the network-reachability and scope-change (browser) aspects accurately, but AC:L arguably understates the practical exploitation difficulty given that the non-default icon display configuration must be active on the target site - a condition beyond attacker control. … 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. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons plugin to version 3.0.1 or later, which applies proper escaping to the affected request parameter before rendering it in the JavaScript event handler context. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
