Summary

The CC Child Pages plugin for WordPress up to version 2.0.0 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'child_pages' shortcode. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on four user-supplied attributes in the 'show_child_pages' function.

Risk Assessment

Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that execute whenever a user accesses the injected page, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or malware distribution.

Recommendation

Update the CC Child Pages plugin to the latest available version that fixes this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only.

Original NVD description (English source)

The CC Child Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'child_pages' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on four user-supplied attributes (use_custom_link, use_custom_link_target, use_custom_thumbs, and use_custom_excerpt) in the 'show_child_pages' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
