CVE-2026-3348: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in minhnhut MinhNhut Link Gateway
The MinhNhut Link Gateway plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's settings (Description, Title, and other fields) in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the redirect page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The MinhNhut Link Gateway plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated administrators can inject arbitrary scripts into plugin settings fields, which are then executed in the context of users visiting the redirect pages. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.6.1 and is limited to multi-site setups or installations with unfiltered_html disabled. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated administrator to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users visiting the redirect pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited by the requirement for administrator-level access and specific WordPress configurations (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled). There is no indication of known exploits in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the MinhNhut Link Gateway plugin in multi-site or unfiltered_html-disabled environments. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
