Enable Media Replace
Monthly
Stored cross-site scripting in the ShortPixel Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin (all versions through 4.2.1) allows an authenticated attacker with high-level privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts via the media replacement workflow, which then execute in the browser context of any WordPress user who subsequently views the affected content. The scope change confirmed by the CVSS vector (S:C) means a compromised editor-level account could be leveraged to target administrator sessions, enabling privilege escalation within the WordPress admin interface. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; the Patchstack advisory is the primary confirmed intelligence source.
The Enable Media Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the SHORTPIXEL_DEBUG parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.4 due to insufficient input. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.7), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required. This Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.1.3 unserializes user input via the Remove Background feature, which could allow Author+ users to perform PHP Object Injection when a suitable. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.0.2 does not prevent authors from uploading arbitrary files to the site, which may allow them to upload PHP shells on affected sites. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.0.0 does not ensure that renamed files are moved to the Upload folder, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to move them outside to. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.9), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
