Summary

The Echo Knowledge Base – Documentation, FAQs, Chat & Smart Search plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 17.214.0 is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'new_kb_config' parameter, specifically the article-mobile-break-point-v2 key. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in EPKB_Frontend_Editor::fe_preview_config() and EPKB_Articles_Setup, where attacker-controlled data is concatenated into a <style> element without escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute if they trick a user with Editor-level access or above into clicking a crafted link.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or content modification. This requires interaction from a user with editor or administrator privileges.

Recommendation

Update the Echo Knowledge Base plugin to a version later than 17.214.0 that fixes the XSS vulnerability. Until then, avoid clicking unknown links and consider restricting editor privileges.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Echo Knowledge Base – Documentation, FAQs, Chat & Smart Search plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'new_kb_config' parameter (specifically the article-mobile-break-point-v2 key, among other config keys interpolated into the <style> element) in versions up to, and including, 17.214.0 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in EPKB_Frontend_Editor::fe_preview_config() and EPKB_Articles_Setup: on every knowledge base article page view, when the request supplies epkb_fe_reload_mode=on, an attacker-controlled JSON blob is merged over the stored KB configuration and several values are concatenated directly into a stylesheet emitted inside a literal <style> element without escaping (minify_css() does not strip <, > or /). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user (with Editor-level access or above, holding the manage_categories capability, or an Administrator) into performing an action such as clicking on a specially crafted link.
