DescriptionCVE.org

The WP Rocket plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.21.0.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied data via the rocket_beacon AJAX endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in WP Rocket versions up to and including 3.21.0.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject persistent malicious scripts via the rocket_beacon AJAX endpoint. Any user who subsequently visits a page where the payload has been stored will execute the attacker-controlled script in their browser context. …
