CVE-2026-2425: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in den-media hiWeb Migration Simple
The hiWeb Migration Simple WordPress plugin is vulnerable to reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the 'new_domain' parameter in all versions up to and including 2.0.0.1. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts. Exploitation requires tricking an administrator into clicking a crafted link, potentially leading to script execution in the administrator's browser.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2425 describes a reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the hiWeb Migration Simple plugin for WordPress. The issue exists in the handling of the 'new_domain' parameter, which is not properly sanitized or escaped before being included in web pages. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to craft a URL that, when visited by an administrator, executes arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the administrator's session. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.0.0.1. No official patch or remediation level has been published as of the data provided.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts by executing arbitrary scripts in the context of an administrator's browser session. This may allow theft of session cookies or other sensitive information accessible to the administrator, but does not directly impact availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should avoid clicking on untrusted links containing the 'new_domain' parameter in the hiWeb Migration Simple plugin interface. Monitoring for updates from the vendor or plugin author is recommended to apply any official fixes once released.
