Product: Simple Video Management System

Description

The Simple Video Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'analytics_video' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

The Simple Video Management System plugin for WordPress suffers from a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'analytics_video' parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser when they click on a maliciously crafted link. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.0.4. 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.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser, potentially resulting in session hijacking, defacement, or other actions within the context of the affected site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction and does not require authentication.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the Simple Video Management System plugin or implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to block malicious input targeting the 'analytics_video' parameter. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once available.
