The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress suffers from a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the disqus_name parameter. This allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages, which execute when a user interacts with a crafted URL. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.1.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability.

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing attackers to steal user session data or perform actions on behalf of the user. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. Since the vulnerability requires user interaction, exploitation depends on social engineering.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should exercise caution with untrusted links that include the disqus_name parameter. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories is recommended.
