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 subscriber-level privileges or higher on a WordPress site running GamiPress <= 7.9.4 with the plugin's YouTube integration in use, where the attacker injects a payload through the 'video_id' parameter handled in the YouTube integration's listeners/triggers code. Exploitation is limited by the authentication requirement (no anonymous exploitation) and by the need for a victim to subsequently load the page containing the stored payload for the script to execute; the elevated impact arises when that victim is a higher-privileged user such as an administrator.

Impact

This is a moderate-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 not urgent priority. The network attack vector and low complexity ease exploitation, but PR:L means an attacker must first hold at least a subscriber-level account on the target WordPress site, which meaningfully limits mass, unauthenticated exploitation. The scope change (S:C) and the stored nature raise impact because injected script executes in the browsers of other users (potentially higher-privileged administrators) who view the affected page. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation - this is a Wordfence-reported, likely researcher-discovered issue rather than a weaponized threat. The limited confidentiality/integrity impact (C:L/I:L) and absence of availability impact keep this below critical. Net: patch in normal cadence; it is a legitimate privilege-escalation-via-XSS risk on multi-user sites but does not warrant emergency response absent exploitation signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker registers or obtains a subscriber-level account on a WordPress site running GamiPress <= 7.9.4 and submits a crafted 'video_id' value containing a malicious script payload through the YouTube integration. The payload is stored without sanitization and later executes in the browser of any user - potentially an administrator - who views the affected page, enabling session/cookie theft or admin actions in the victim's context. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the GamiPress WordPress gamification plugin (all versions up to and including 7.9.4) allows any authenticated user with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript through the 'video_id' parameter processed by the plugin's YouTube integration, which then executes in the browser of any user viewing the poisoned page. Exploitation requires a valid low-privilege account on the affected site plus a victim loading the injected content; the impact is most serious when the victim is an administrator, since the script runs in the site's origin and can be used to hijack sessions or perform privileged actions. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not confirmed as actively exploited, making this a moderate-severity (CVSS 6.4) but credible priority for sites that allow open registration and use the YouTube integration.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: GamiPress 7.9.5 (or later) -- update the plugin through the WordPress admin or WP-CLI and verify that the YouTube integration files reflect the 7.9.5 tag referenced at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gamipress/tags/7.9.5/integrations/youtube/includes/listeners.php and https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gamipress/tags/7.9.5/integrations/youtube/includes/triggers.php. Because this is a stored XSS, patching alone does not clean payloads already persisted in the database: after upgrading, review and remove any GamiPress YouTube/video_id-derived content (post meta, activity/points records, and any user-submitted fields the integration stores) and re-scan with a malware/security plugin. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the plugin's YouTube integration (removing YouTube-based triggers and point/achievement awards -- a functional trade-off for sites that reward users for watching or sharing videos) or restrict it to trusted roles; if open subscriber registration is not required, disabling or moderating new user signups removes the low-privilege injection vector, though it disrupts community onboarding. Additional compensating controls include a WAF rule filtering script-like content in GamiPress-related parameters, and reducing the number of administrator accounts that routinely view user-generated gamification pages, since administrator page views are the primary high-impact trigger for the stored payload. There is no vendor-released patch identified for versions earlier than 7.9.5, so upgrading to that release or later is the only complete fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation, i.e. cross-site scripting) in the YouTube integration of the GamiPress WordPress plugin, implemented in the integration's listeners and triggers code (files under integrations/youtube/includes/listeners.php and triggers.php). The 'video_id' value supplied through that integration is stored without adequate sanitization and later rendered without output escaping, so the payload becomes persistent site content rather than a reflected one-off. Because the value is saved server-side, the malicious markup survives page loads and executes for every subsequent visitor of the affected page until it is removed -- a classic stored/persistent XSS pattern. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N indicates the attack is network-reachable, low complexity, and requires only low privileges (PR:L), while the Scope:Changed (S:C) metric reflects that the injected script escapes the vulnerable component's security context and executes in the broader WordPress site origin, which is why a low-privilege injection can meaningfully affect higher-privileged users. The supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:rubengc:gamipress_...:*) is version-wildcarded and identifies the WordPress plugin from vendor 'rubengc' but does not itself pin a version range, so version scoping relies on the advisory text (affected through 7.9.4) and the referenced 7.9.5 source tag, which points to the corrected code.

DescriptionCVE.org

The GamiPress - Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'video_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.9.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
