CVE-2026-7421: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in passeum Passeum Ticketing
The Passeum Ticketing WordPress plugin up to version 1. 0 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This occurs because the plugin's get_shop_url() method returns the shop_name setting without proper sanitization when it starts with "http", and the validate_shop_name() function inadequately validates this input. Authenticated users with Administrator-level privileges or higher can exploit this to inject attacker-controlled external scripts that execute on frontend pages containing Passeum Ticketing shortcodes. This vulnerability does not affect single-site installations where administrators have the unfiltered_html capability. The CVSS score is 4. 4, indicating a medium severity level. No patch or official remediation is currently documented.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7421 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Passeum Ticketing plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and validation of the shop_name setting used in the get_shop_url() method. When shop_name begins with "http", it is used to enqueue external JavaScript and CSS resources without sanitization, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject arbitrary scripts from an attacker-controlled domain. These scripts execute on all frontend pages containing Passeum Ticketing shortcodes, potentially impacting all site visitors. Single-site installations are not affected due to existing unfiltered_html capabilities for administrators. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level access can inject and execute arbitrary external scripts on frontend pages that use Passeum Ticketing shortcodes. This can lead to client-side code execution affecting all visitors to those pages. The vulnerability does not impact single-site installations where administrators have unfiltered_html capability. The CVSS score of 4.4 reflects limited impact due to required high privileges and attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only. Review and monitor plugin settings for unauthorized changes to the shop_name value. Consider disabling or removing the Passeum Ticketing plugin if not essential.
