CVE-2026-14234: CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in WOLF
The WOLF WordPress plugin before 1.1.0 does not perform a nonce or capability check on one of its AJAX actions, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to trick a logged-in administrator into writing arbitrary content, including a malicious script, into a post via a cross-site request, resulting in stored Cross-Site Scripting.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WOLF WordPress plugin prior to version 1.1.0 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability due to missing nonce and capability checks on an AJAX action. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a cross-site request that causes a logged-in administrator to unknowingly inject arbitrary content, including malicious scripts, into posts. The vulnerability also involves Cross-Site Request Forgery (CWE-352) aspects, enabling the attack vector. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.1 (High), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope change, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute stored malicious scripts in the context of an administrator's browser session, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, modification of content, or disruption of service. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should exercise caution when interacting with untrusted content or links that could trigger AJAX requests in the WOLF plugin. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor is recommended.
