CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Kirki WordPress plugin prior to version 6.3.0 is vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attack, allowing unauthenticated users to inject malicious JavaScript into comments. This script executes in the context of any user viewing the affected page, including administrators, potentially compromising site integrity and user data. WordPress site administrators and developers using the Kirki plugin should prioritize updating to the latest version to mitigate this high-severity vulnerability.
Original NVD Description
The Kirki WordPress plugin before 6.3.0 does not hold back every spelling of the HTML entities it decodes when rendering, allowing unauthenticated users to store JavaScript in a comment which then runs in the session of anyone viewing a page that displays it, including an administrator, and on every page of the site when its header or footer is built to show comments.
