Summary

The Custom Twitter Feeds plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 2.8.0 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'buttoncolor' shortcode attribute due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is exploitable on common installs where the admin has configured access tokens with zero or multiple legacy feeds.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with contributor privileges can execute arbitrary JavaScript in visitors' browsers, enabling session theft, redirects, or content modification. This can lead to admin account takeover and further escalation.

Recommendation

Update the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin to a version later than 2.8.0. Until then, consider limiting contributor-level accounts and monitoring for unusual content changes.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Custom Twitter Feeds – A Tweets Widget or X Feed Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'buttoncolor' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. This vulnerability is exploitable on common installs where the admin has configured access tokens with zero or multiple legacy feeds, as this causes the ctf_statuses support_legacy_shortcode option to be set to boolean true by default, activating the unfiltered legacy shortcode attribute code path.
