CVE-2026-42643: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in StellarWP Image Widget
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in StellarWP Image Widget image-widget allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Image Widget: from n/a through <= 4.4.11.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in StellarWP Image Widget (<= 4.4.11) involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker with high privileges and requiring user interaction can exploit this to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected application. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, user interaction required, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low to low level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with high privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the affected web pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. However, exploitation requires user interaction and high privileges, limiting the scope of impact. No known active exploits have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to high-privilege users and limit user interactions that could trigger the vulnerability. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
