DescriptionCVE.org

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in NotificationX Pro <= 3.1.4 versions.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated cross-site scripting in the NotificationX Pro WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.1.4) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious script into pages served to authenticated users, including administrators. The scope change (S:C) in the CVSS vector indicates the injected script executes in a browser context outside the plugin's own trust boundary, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized administrative actions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The CVSS vector PR:N confirms no authentication is required to submit the malicious payload. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 is driven primarily by the scope change (S:C) and the network-accessible, zero-authentication attack vector (AV:N/PR:N), but UI:R means a victim must perform some action - such as loading a page containing the malicious notification - for the exploit to trigger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker submits a crafted input containing a malicious JavaScript payload through a parameter handled by the NotificationX Pro plugin - likely a publicly accessible form or endpoint that populates notification data. The payload is stored or reflected such that when a WordPress administrator views a page rendering that notification, the script executes in the admin's browser, allowing the attacker to exfiltrate the admin's session cookie or silently perform privileged WordPress actions on their behalf. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to update NotificationX Pro to a version above 3.1.4, as the vulnerability was introduced in or before that release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: audit all WordPress installations for NotificationX Pro plugin versions 3.1.4 and below; immediately disable or remove the plugin from production unless operationally critical. …
