CVE-2026-6704: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in phpsandeepkumar Blog Settings
The Blog Settings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Blog Settings WordPress plugin by phpsandeepkumar suffers from a reflected XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'page' parameter. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser if they interact with a crafted URL. The issue affects all versions up to 1.0. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reflects network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or session hijacking. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and affects unauthenticated users.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should avoid interacting with untrusted links that reference the vulnerable 'page' parameter in the Blog Settings plugin. Consider disabling or removing the plugin if feasible to reduce exposure.
