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 unauthenticated attacker (PR:N) to deliver a crafted link/request that reflects an unsanitized parameter through the Razorpay Payment Button plugin (versions <=2.4.9) on a WordPress site, AND requires a victim to interact by clicking that link (UI:R) so the payload renders in their browser. The primary limiting factor is this mandatory user interaction - there is no server-side compromise and no autonomous, unauthenticated remote trigger; impact is confined to script execution in the clicking user's browser session. No non-default configuration is documented, but the plugin must be installed and active on the target site. |
| Impact | This is a high-CVSS (7.1) but modest real-world-risk reflected XSS in the Razorpay Payment Button WordPress plugin (<=2.4.9). The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L indicates network reach with no privileges required, but exploitation hinges on UI:R - a victim must click an attacker-crafted link - which materially lowers the practical risk versus a no-interaction flaw. The scope change (S:C) reflects script executing in the victim's browser session context, but confidentiality/integrity/availability impacts are all Low, consistent with reflected XSS rather than a takeover primitive. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The A:L (availability) sub-score is arguable for a reflected XSS and mildly inflates the 7.1; I lean toward A:N and roughly 6.1. Net: a legitimate item to patch but not an emergency - priority is driven by ease of tricking a user, not by mass automatable exploitation. Note: the Tags and Description omit the WordPress/PHP platform, which is confirmed by the Patchstack reference URL (wordpress/plugin/razorpay-payment-button). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL to a vulnerable Razorpay Payment Button plugin endpoint (or a page embedding it) containing a malicious script payload in a reflected parameter, then lures a site visitor or administrator into clicking it. When the victim's browser renders the unsanitized reflected input, the injected JavaScript executes in their session context, enabling session/cookie theft, defacement, or actions on their behalf. No public POC or exploit code was provided in the source data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Razorpay Payment Button WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.4.9) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted link that a victim must click. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and impacts the victim's browser session, with no server-side compromise. Despite a vendor CVSS score of 7.1, the real-world risk is modest due to the mandatory user interaction and limited scope of impact; no public exploit code or active exploitation is reported at this time.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis. Users should check the vendor's website or WordPress plugin repository for an updated version that addresses this vulnerability. As a compensating control, consider temporarily disabling the Razorpay Payment Button plugin until a patch is available; this will remove the payment button functionality from the site but eliminates the risk. Alternatively, deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block XSS attempts targeting this plugin, though WAFs may not catch all obfuscated payloads and require ongoing tuning. Additionally, educate users about the risks of clicking untrusted links. Monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/razorpay-payment-button/vulnerability/wordpress-razorpay-payment-button-plugin-2-4-9-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw (CWE-79) in the Razorpay Payment Button plugin for WordPress. The plugin fails to properly sanitize or escape a user-supplied parameter before reflecting it back in the HTTP response. An attacker can craft a malicious URL that, when visited by a victim, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser. The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) indicates network exploitable, low complexity, unauthenticated (PR:N), requiring user interaction (UI:R), with scope changed (S:C) meaning the vulnerable component can affect resources beyond its security scope (e.g., the user's browser). Confidentiality and integrity impacts are low, and there is no availability impact in the independent assessment. The CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:razorpay:razorpay_payment_button:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) identifies the affected WordPress plugin. The plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site for exploitation.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Razorpay Payment Button <= 2.4.9 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Razorpay Payment Button WordPress plugin (versions ≤2.4.9) creates a browser-based security risk for sites that display its payment buttons, potentially affecting visitors who click a crafted link and undermining confidence in payment-related interactions. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis, the immediate enterprise-wide threat is limited, but customer-facing WordPress properties using this plugin should be prioritized for review to protect brand trust and visitor data.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include deactivating or removing the Razorpay Payment Button plugin on affected sites, deploying WAF rules to block reflected script payloads, enforcing a Content Security Policy, and monitoring for suspicious crafted links to payment pages.
