DescriptionCVE.org

The 12 Step Meeting List WordPress plugin before 3.19.17 does not sanitise and escape a value submitted by unauthenticated users before storing it in its activity log and outputting it back in an admin area page, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.

AnalysisAI

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the 12 Step Meeting List WordPress plugin (versions 3.17 through before 3.19.17) allows unauthenticated remote users to inject persistent JavaScript payloads via unsanitized input that is stored in the plugin's activity log and rendered in the WordPress admin area. When a privileged user such as a site administrator views the activity log, the injected script executes in their browser session, enabling potential account takeover, unauthorized admin actions, or credential theft. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Injection requires no authentication - any unauthenticated user with network access to the WordPress site can submit the malicious payload (PR:N, AV:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects the significant impact possible if an administrator views the poisoned log entry, but the UI:R requirement is a meaningful friction point - exploitation is not fire-and-forget. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running the vulnerable plugin version and submits a crafted form entry containing a JavaScript payload (e.g., a cookie-stealing script) through any publicly accessible plugin-handled endpoint. The payload is stored in the activity log without sanitization. …
