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 | No authentication is required (PR:N) - an unauthenticated remote attacker can deliver the XSS payload. The victim must interact with the crafted content (UI:R), meaning the attack requires a user to visit or click a specially crafted URL or page element. No non-default configuration or specific plugin feature flag is described as a prerequisite; the vulnerability appears to exist in the plugin's standard social interaction functionality available in default deployments. The primary limiting factor is the required user interaction: fully automated, mass exploitation without a social engineering component is constrained. Additionally, exploitation is limited to sites running WordPress with Super Socializer plugin version 7.14.5 or earlier actively installed and enabled. |
| Impact | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) reflects a meaningful risk profile: network-accessible, low complexity, and requiring no authentication are factors that raise real-world exploitability. The S:C (scope change) component is significant for XSS - it means the injected payload can affect browser context beyond the plugin's own page, amplifying the impact. However, UI:R (user interaction required) is a limiting factor; exploitation cannot be fully automated without social engineering to lure victims. No EPSS score was provided in the source data, and there is no KEV listing, so widespread or automated exploitation is not confirmed. The A:L (availability impact) component in the vendor-provided vector is unusual for a pure XSS vulnerability and may reflect the ability to inject disruptive content rather than causing direct server-side denial of service - this should be verified against the vendor advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a WordPress site running Super Socializer 7.14.5 or earlier and crafts a URL or input payload containing malicious JavaScript targeting one of the plugin's social interaction inputs. The attacker distributes this link via phishing email or embeds it in a forum post; when an authenticated site visitor clicks the link and the page renders, the injected script executes in the victim's browser, exfiltrating their session cookie to an attacker-controlled server and enabling session hijacking. No public proof-of-concept code has been confirmed, but the unauthenticated, low-complexity nature of the flaw means it is straightforward to reproduce from the CWE-79 vulnerability class. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 06, 2026
Unauthenticated XSS in the Super Socializer WordPress plugin (versions 7.14.5 and earlier) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages viewed by other users without any prior authentication. The scope change (S:C in the CVSS vector) confirms the payload executes outside the plugin's own origin, enabling session theft, credential harvesting, or malicious redirects against site visitors. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and zero authentication requirement lower the bar for opportunistic exploitation.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to update the Super Socializer plugin to a version beyond 7.14.5 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or by downloading the latest release from the WordPress plugin repository. The exact patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/super-socializer/vulnerability/wordpress-super-socializer-plugin-7-14-5-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability for the confirmed fix version before updating. If an immediate update is not possible, disabling the Super Socializer plugin entirely eliminates the attack surface with the trade-off of losing social login and sharing functionality. Additionally, deploying a web application firewall (WAF) rule to detect and block XSS payloads in parameters handled by the plugin can serve as a temporary compensating control, though this does not address the root input sanitization defect.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Super Socializer is a WordPress plugin developed by Rajat Varlani (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:rajat_varlani:super_socializer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that provides social login, social sharing, and social commenting functionality. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning user-controlled input is reflected or stored in page output without adequate sanitization or encoding before being interpreted by the browser. The plugin's social interaction surfaces - such as sharing widgets, login forms, or comment integrations - are the likely injection vectors. Malicious script delivered through these surfaces executes in the victim's browser context with access to cookies, local storage, and DOM, potentially spanning across same-origin page interactions.

DescriptionCVE.org
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in Super Socializer <= 7.14.5 versions.
Executive ViewAI
The Super Socializer WordPress plugin version 7.14.5 and earlier contains an unauthenticated cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows remote attackers to inject malicious code into pages viewed by site visitors, enabling session theft, credential harvesting, and malicious redirects. This vulnerability exposes all users visiting WordPress sites running affected plugin versions to account takeover and credential compromise without any required user interaction. Immediate deactivation and remediation is required to mitigate organizational reputation risk and protect user account security.
Deactivate the vulnerable plugin immediately pending patch availability. Implement restrictive Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with strict script-src directives to prevent inline script execution. Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to detect and block XSS payloads. Monitor vendor security advisories and apply patch immediately upon release. If no patch is released within 60 days of public disclosure, migrate to an alternative maintained plugin.
