Deeper analysis
The CDI WordPress plugin before version 5.1.9 is affected by a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79). The root cause is a failure to sanitize and escape a parameter before echoing it in the response of an AJAX action that is reachable by both unauthenticated and authenticated users, producing a CVSS 6.1 finding with network attack vector, no privileges required, and changed scope.
An attacker can supply a crafted request to the vulnerable AJAX endpoint that reflects attacker-controlled script into a victim's browser. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site, enabling theft of cookies or other client-side data and limited impact on confidentiality and integrity.
The EPSS score for this CVE has remained flat at 0.1445 with no material increase after disclosure. The referenced WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/6cedb27f-6140-4cba-836f-63de98e521bf is the primary public source detailing the issue.
