AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The myCred plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce, used for gamification and loyalty rewards, contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in its mycred_link shortcode. This flaw arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes. These scripts execute in the context of any user viewing the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.7.4. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges but no user interaction, with impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the mycred_link shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially compromising user confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the mycred_link shortcode if feasible to reduce risk.
