Stored cross-site scripting in the Ditty WordPress plugin (versions through 3.1.69) allows an authenticated attacker holding at least Contributor-level privileges on a site to plant script that later executes in the browser of a higher-privileged user, such as an administrator, who views the affected content. Exploitation requires both a low-privileged foothold account and victim interaction, which keeps this a modest-priority issue (CVSS 6.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis.
Stored cross-site scripting in the Ditty News Ticker WordPress plugin (ditty-news-ticker) before 3.1.70 allows an authenticated user holding Author-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary HTML elements into a layout, which then execute in the browser of any visitor who loads a post or page embedding the affected Ditty item. The flaw stems from ditty_layout_render_tag_wrapper() emitting caller-supplied wrapper attribute values directly as HTML element names without allowlist validation, so the payload survives because wp_kses_post() sanitization runs at save time, before those layout tag attributes are resolved at render time. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no evidence of confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV); the risk is moderate and gated by the site's role-assignment policy, making it most dangerous on sites that grant Author or Editor access to untrusted or numerous contributors.
Broken access control in the Ditty WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 3.1.67) allows subscriber-level authenticated users to perform actions beyond their authorized scope, classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). Reported by Patchstack with a CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 Medium, the flaw is particularly impactful on WordPress sites with open user registration, where any self-registered subscriber could exploit it. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are identified at time of analysis.
Broken access control in the Ditty WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.1.66) permits unauthenticated remote attackers to invoke restricted plugin functionality without any credentials, yielding limited availability impact on affected WordPress sites. Reported by Patchstack and confirmed via NVD with CVSS 5.3 (Medium), the flaw stems from CWE-862 Missing Authorization - a failure to verify caller permissions before executing protected actions. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the low attack complexity makes this accessible once the specific unprotected endpoint is known.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.58 lacks authorization and authentication for requests to its displayItems endpoint, allowing unauthenticated visitors to make requests to arbitrary URLs. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and EPSS exploitation probability 18.1%.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.52 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as author to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.47 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as author to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.46 re-introduced a previously fixed security issue (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/80a9eb3a-2cb1-4844-9004-ba2554b2d46c/) in v3.1.39. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.45 does not sanitise and escape some parameters, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.43 does not sanitise and escape some of its blocks' settings, which could allow high privilege users such as authors to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.7), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.36 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.4), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.25 does not sanitise and escape some parameters and generated URLs before outputting them back in attributes, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
