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 account on the target WordPress site with at least low-privilege access able to submit input that SureDash stores and renders (PR:L), plus interaction by a victim user who loads the affected page (UI:R). The specific SureDash field, feature, or admin view that fails to neutralize input is not described in the available source, so the exact injection point should be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory. Limiting factors: the attacker needs valid credentials/a role permitted to write the stored content, a separate victim must view the content for the payload to fire, and impact is bounded to the plugin's affected pages; this is not remote-unauthenticated and does not work against a site where untrusted users cannot obtain posting accounts. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity stored XSS (CVSS 6.5, CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) in the SureDash WordPress plugin, reported by Patchstack. The vector requires authenticated access (PR:L) and victim user interaction (UI:R), which materially lowers real-world risk versus an unauthenticated drive-by flaw; the scope change (S:C) reflects script executing in the context of other users' browser sessions, which is why confidentiality/integrity impacts are assessed as Low rather than None. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no verified public exploit are present in the input, and the SSVC/priority signal is 'this_month' (not act_now/emergency) - all consistent with a real but non-urgent, lower-probability issue rather than a widely-exploited critical bug. The single reference is the Patchstack vulnerability database entry (a research advisory), not independent vendor confirmation; affected-version boundaries ('from n/a through 1.12.3') and the absence of a stated fixed version should be verified directly with Brainstorm Force. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged authenticated user (e.g., a contributor or author role) injects a malicious script payload into a SureDash input field that is stored and later rendered. When a higher-privileged user such as an administrator views the affected dashboard page, the stored script executes in their browser session, potentially performing actions as that user. No verified public exploit code was identified; exploitation requires both authentication and victim interaction (AC:L/PR:L/UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 29, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in the Brainstorm Force SureDash WordPress plugin affects versions through 1.12.3; an authenticated low-privilege user can store malicious input that executes when a separate victim loads the affected page. The assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (medium severity), Patchstack reported the flaw, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today priority is this_month.
RemediationAI
Patch status is not confirmed in the provided data; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/suredash/vulnerability/wordpress-suredash-plugin-1-12-3-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for the fixed version and update SureDash once a vendor release is verified. Because exploitation requires an authenticated low-privilege account plus a separate victim viewing stored content, restricting SureDash content creation/editing to trusted roles can reduce exposure, though it changes site permissions and does not fix the underlying flaw. The exact SureDash field or view that stores and renders unneutralized input is not described in the available sources, so confirm the injection point with the advisory before applying narrower controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SureDash is a WordPress plugin from Brainstorm Force, and the affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:brainstorm_force:suredash:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with CVE coverage through version 1.12.3. The root cause is CWE-79: user-supplied input is stored and later rendered during web page generation without proper neutralization, allowing script execution in the context of the affected page. The assessed vector shows scope change (S:C) and low confidentiality/integrity impact (C:L/I:L) with no availability impact (A:N). The available sources do not identify the specific SureDash field, feature, or admin view that fails to neutralize input, so the exact injection point should be confirmed from the Patchstack advisory.
