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 | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least low-level privileges (PR:L) that can reach and submit data to a WPFunnels input that is persistently stored, and it further requires a second, typically higher-privileged user to load the page where the stored payload renders (UI:R) for the script to fire. Limiting factors: the attacker must already have a valid account on the target site, the configuration must allow that role to write to the vulnerable funnel field, and payload execution is contingent on another user viewing the affected content - so sites that do not grant untrusted users posting/configuration access are not realistically exploitable. Affects WPFunnels versions up to and including 3.13.3. |
| Impact | This is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) flaw in the WPFunnels WordPress plugin, rated CVSS 6.5 (Medium) via vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. The vector indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation but requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L) and victim user interaction (UI:R), which materially reduces real-world risk versus an unauthenticated, no-interaction flaw. The scope change (S:C) and persistent nature are the aggravating factors: injected script is stored server-side and executes in another user's (e.g., administrator's) browser session, which is why the limited C/I/A impacts still produce a Medium score. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC reference is present in the supplied data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation - signals are consistent rather than conflicting (a low-to-moderate CVSS flaw with no exploitation intelligence). This is a routine patch-management priority, not an emergency: treat it as a standard plugin update to remediate, elevated only for sites that grant untrusted users contributor/author-level access. EPSS and POC status are missing from the input and should be verified against the Patchstack advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated low-privilege user (such as a contributor or shop manager permitted to configure funnels) submits a crafted payload into a WPFunnels input field that is stored without proper neutralization. When an administrator or other user later views the affected page in wp-admin, the stored JavaScript executes in their authenticated session, enabling session/cookie theft or admin actions on their behalf. No public exploit code is referenced in the supplied data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the WPFunnels WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 3.13.3, lets an authenticated low-privileged user persist malicious JavaScript into funnel content that then executes in the browser of any higher-privileged user who later views the affected page. The flaw is rated CVSS 6.5 (Medium) under vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, indicating an authenticated attack path (PR:L) with a required victim interaction (UI:R) and a scope change (S:C) but only low confidentiality, integrity and availability impact. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis; exploitation is realistically limited to sites that grant untrusted or low-privileged accounts the ability to write to WPFunnels funnel fields.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is explicitly identified in the available intelligence; the advisory states that versions through 3.13.3 are affected, so the primary action is to upgrade WPFunnels to the earliest release later than 3.13.3 and verify the change against the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wpfunnels/vulnerability/wordpress-wpfunnels-plugin-3-13-3-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the plugin's WordPress.org changelog before considering the site clean. Because the attack requires an authenticated low-privileged account (PR:L) plus a second user viewing the poisoned page (UI:R), the most effective compensating controls target that path: audit WordPress roles and remove or downgrade any subscriber, contributor or custom role that can write to WPFunnels funnel, step or form fields, since this blocks the storage step entirely at the cost of restricting legitimate non-admin content workflows; review existing funnel and opt-in content in the database for injected markup and re-save or delete suspect records, which clears already-persisted payloads but requires manual review of each funnel; and enable a WordPress security layer that performs output escaping or a strict Content Security Policy that blocks inline script, accepting that CSP can break legitimate plugin and marketing scripts. If upgrading is not immediately possible, temporarily deactivating WPFunnels removes the exposure outright but takes all live funnels offline, and generic XSS filtering will not reliably mitigate the flaw because the weakness is in the plugin's own output handling rather than in inbound request validation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is a classic CWE-79 improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically the stored (persistent) variant, in the WPFunnels Team WPFunnels plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpfunnels_team:wpfunnels:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). WPFunnels is a funnel-builder plugin that stores user-supplied funnel, step and form field data in the WordPress database and renders it back into front-end pages; because that stored data is not correctly escaped or sanitized on output, attacker-controlled markup survives storage and is emitted into the generated HTML. The CVSS vector explains the mechanics precisely: AV:N reflects that the payload is delivered over the web, AC:L means no unusual preconditions beyond the role configuration, PR:L means the attacker must hold an authenticated WordPress account with enough privileges to submit data into the vulnerable funnel field, and UI:R means a second user - typically an administrator or other higher-privileged account reviewing the funnel - must load the page containing the stored payload. S:C (scope change) is consistent with the injected script executing in the security context of the WordPress site's origin rather than confined to the vulnerable component, enabling session/token theft or privileged actions performed as the victim. The Patchstack report is the sole external reference, with the associated tags XSS and Wpfunnels.
