webguyio vulnerabilities and threats

The Stop Spammers Classic WordPress plugin contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to and including 2026.6. An unauthenticated attacker can submit a crafted 'author' POST parameter that is stored without proper escaping. This stored value is later rendered in the admin Log Report page inside a JavaScript string in a way that allows injection of arbitrary scripts. Exploitation requires an administrator with manage_options capability to click a specific 'Report to SFS' link, which only appears if the StopForumSpam API key is configured.

The Dam Spam plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This is due to missing nonce verification on the pending comment deletion action in the cleanup page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete all pending comments via a forged request granted they can trick an admin into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Stop Spammers Classic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2026.1. This is due to missing nonce validation in the ss_addtoallowlist class. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add arbitrary email addresses to the spam allowlist via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2026.1.

The Anti-Spam: Spam Protection | Block Spam Users, Comments, Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2024.7. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the 'ss_option_maint.php' and 'ss_user_filter_list' files. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete pending comments, and re-enable a previously blocked user via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
