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 | Requires an authenticated account with contributor-level capability or above on a WordPress site running If-So Dynamic Content ≤1.10.2, plus the ability to insert the plugin's extended shortcode with a malicious 'url' parameter into a post. Critically, execution is gated: the vulnerable branch only renders when an administrator previews or opens the post containing the crafted shortcode, so the payload does not fire for ordinary visitors and depends on an admin viewing the attacker-controlled post. Limiting factors: authenticated contributor+ access is mandatory (not anonymous), successful impact requires an administrator to open/preview the specific post, and it is scoped to deployments where the If-So extended shortcodes feature is in use. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity stored XSS (CVSS 6.4, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) that is a real but bounded priority rather than an emergency. The vuln.today Decision label is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency), and there is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score in the supplied data, so there is no signal of active or widespread exploitation. The input lists no PoC or exploit reference - only the Wordfence advisory, two plugin source lines, and the fix changeset - so this reads as 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The CVSS PR:L reflects the confirmed contributor-level prerequisite, and the scope change (S:C) plus low C/I impact matches a stored script escaping into the administrator's session. One nuance to note: the vector is scored UI:N, but the description states the payload only executes when an administrator previews or opens the crafted post, which is an effective interaction/targeting requirement that constrains real-world exploitation beyond what the raw UI:N implies. Net: a legitimate issue to patch on a normal cycle, not a drop-everything fire. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A user with contributor-level access (or higher) saves a post containing a crafted If-So extended shortcode whose 'url' parameter carries a malicious script, which is stored without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. When an administrator later previews or opens that post - the only branch where the vulnerable code renders - the script executes in the administrator's authenticated browser session, enabling session-context actions such as creating a rogue admin or altering settings. No public exploit code is identified in the available sources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the WordPress plugin If-So Dynamic Content - Elementor & All Page Builders Personalization affects every version through 1.10.2 and lets an authenticated user with contributor-level access or above plant arbitrary script in a post via the extended shortcode's 'url' parameter. The payload does not fire for ordinary visitors: the vulnerable rendering branch is reached only when an administrator previews or opens the crafted post, so the practical target is the admin's browser session. Rated CVSS 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) with a this_month remediation priority; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Update the If-So Dynamic Content plugin to a release later than 1.10.2 - the plugin repository changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3748902%40if-so&new=3748902%40if-so is the upstream fix reference, and a specific patched version number is not stated in the available data, so confirm the current fixed tag in the WordPress.org plugin directory before closing the ticket (advisory: https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/177aca03-683b-48e1-911f-c966b171626b?source=cve). Until the upgrade is applied, reduce exposure by auditing which accounts hold contributor-level or higher access, since that capability is mandatory to inject the shortcode, and by reviewing existing posts and drafts for extended shortcodes carrying unusual 'url' values - the payload stays dormant until an administrator previews or opens the affected post, so avoiding admin-side preview of untrusted contributor content prevents the trigger. Sites that do not rely on the plugin's extended shortcodes feature can reduce their attack surface accordingly, at the cost of losing that personalization functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79 (improper neutralization of input during web page generation) in the plugin's extended shortcodes component, specifically the handling of the 'url' parameter at the code locations in extended-shortcodes.php cited in the 1.10.2 tagged source and the associated plugin repository changeset. The 'url' value is neither sufficiently sanitized on input nor escaped on output, so markup that a contributor supplies survives into the rendered page instead of being neutralized. Because the sink sits behind a branch that only renders in the administrative preview/open path, the stored payload is latent for anonymous traffic and executes in the administrator's session when the affected post is viewed from the admin side. The CVSS scope-changed metric reflects that code executing in the higher-privileged admin context can affect resources beyond the contributor's own privilege boundary, while confidentiality and integrity impact remain low and availability is unaffected. The plugin's CPE entry confirms the affected package is the WordPress plugin distributed under the if-so slug, with ENISA EUVD recording the affected range as versions up to and including 1.10.2.

Contributor authentication is required (PR:L), stored payload needs no added trigger complexity (AC:L), and script escaping into the admin session is a scope change (S:C) with low C/I and no availability impact.

DescriptionCVE.org
The If-So Dynamic Content - Elementor & All Page Builders Personalization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected script executes specifically in the administrator's browser session, as the vulnerable branch only renders when an administrator previews or opens the post containing the crafted shortcode.
