HighCVSS 8.8

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.27%

20th percentile - higher than 20% of all known CVEs

Summary

The GenieWords WordPress plugin from 1.5.27 to 1.5.34 does not have authorisation checks on some of its REST API and AJAX actions, and decodes stored values before printing them, allowing unauthenticated users to overwrite its configuration and inject arbitrary web scripts that execute on every front-end page.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can modify the plugin configuration and perform a stored XSS attack across all site pages, potentially leading to hijacking of user and administrator sessions.

Recommendation

Update the GenieWords plugin to a version newer than 1.5.34 or disable it; then verify the plugin configuration and review the site for injected scripts.
