The Easy Digital Downloads – Sell Digital Files & Subscriptions (eCommerce Store + Payments Made Easy) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Agreement Text value in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the Agreement Text field. Authenticated users with administrator privileges can inject arbitrary scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. This issue affects all versions up to 3.3.2 and is limited to multi-site setups or installations where unfiltered_html is disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 3.3, reflecting low impact with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and required privileges.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated administrator to inject persistent scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation. The impact is considered low due to the requirement for administrator privileges and the limited scope of the vulnerability. There are no reported availability impacts or known active exploits.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, limit administrator access to trusted users only, and consider enabling unfiltered_html if feasible to reduce exposure. Monitor vendor channels for updates or official fixes addressing this vulnerability.
