Source: CVE Database V5
Product: Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP

Description

The Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP WordPress plugin before 1.67 does not perform a capability check when saving several of its fields, nor escape them when outputting them back, allowing users with the editor role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a higher privileged user views the affected screen. This is only exploitable on multisite installs, where editors do not hold the unfiltered_html capability.

Technical Analysis

The Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP WordPress plugin prior to version 1.67 contains a CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. It arises from missing capability checks during field saving and improper output escaping. Users with editor privileges on multisite installations can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of higher privileged users viewing the affected interface. This issue does not affect single site installs or users with unfiltered_html capability.

Potential Impact

An attacker with editor role on a multisite WordPress installation can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the browser of higher privileged users (e.g., administrators) when they view the affected plugin screens. This could lead to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other malicious actions performed with the victim's privileges. The impact is limited to multisite environments and requires the attacker to have editor-level access.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade the Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP plugin to version 1.67 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until then, restrict editor role permissions on multisite installations or avoid using the affected plugin version. No official patch link is provided in the input, so verify the vendor advisory for the latest remediation status.
