The HivePress – Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the '<custom user attribute slug> (e.g. hp_custom_link)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.32 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires that an administrator has configured a custom user attribute with a display_format template placing the %value% token inside an href, src, or style attribute context, which is a documented and expected use of the plugin's attribute display feature.

The HivePress – Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'message' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.32 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires that the site administrator has enabled user listing submission, and the script executes in the victim's browser at the moment of successful login via the embedded form on the attacker's listing page.

The HivePress – Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads Plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.7.31. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of a custom user attribute field, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. Exploitation requires specific plugin configuration involving text-type custom user attributes displayed inside HTML attribute contexts and enabled front-end user profiles.

HivePress – Business Directory, Listings & Classified Ads Plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.7.31 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw arises from improper sanitization and escaping of user input in the 'custom text attribute' parameter, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts. Exploitation requires that an administrator has configured a Text attribute displaying the %value% token inside an HTML attribute, a known HivePress pattern.

The HivePress Authentication plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the access_token parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to the authenticate_user function's Facebook authenticator resolving third-party identity by forwarding the attacker-supplied access_token to the Facebook Graph API and trusting the returned email and ID verbatim, without performing any application ID or audience validation — specifically, no /debug_token verification and no comparison of the token's app_id against the configured hp_facebook_app_id. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any existing WordPress user, including administrators, whose email address is associated with a Facebook account for which the attacker can obtain any valid access token. Important Note: To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker must obtain the victim's access token.
