What the vulnerability does
The CC Child Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'more' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.1 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
CC Child Pages versions 2.1.1 and earlier contain a cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker with low-level user privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers, potentially stealing session tokens or performing actions on their behalf. The vulnerability affects the entire site scope due to how the application processes and displays user-controlled input.
What an attacker can do
Inject JavaScript code that runs in other users' browsers and steals their session data or performs actions as them.
Potential impact on your site
Authenticated users' accounts can be compromised; attackers can modify content or steal admin credentials if admins view affected pages.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site; no user interaction required from victims.
