What the vulnerability does
The CRM and Lead Management by vcita plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘type’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
The vcita CRM and Lead Management plugin versions 2.7.5 and earlier contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. An authenticated user with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of other users, including administrators. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the plugin processes and displays user-controlled data without proper sanitization.
What an attacker can do
Inject malicious scripts that run in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions as those users.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers with basic site access can compromise admin accounts and modify site content or settings without further authentication.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege account on the site (e.g., subscriber or contributor role).
