What the vulnerability does
The Twitscription plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the admin.php PATH_INFO in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Twitscription versions 0.1.1 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. The vulnerability requires user interaction—victims must click a malicious link or visit a compromised page. Successful exploitation can steal session cookies, redirect users, or deface content.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they visit a crafted link.
Potential impact on your site
Users visiting malicious links could have their sessions hijacked, credentials stolen, or be redirected to phishing sites.
Conditions required to exploit
