Summary

The Greenshift animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress, by wpsoul, is affected in all versions up to and including 13.2.2. Improper neutralization of input (CWE-79) lets an unauthenticated attacker store a script in a comment author URL that runs in the browser of visitors. Exploitation requires a page configured with a Greenshift Interaction Layer attach-attribute action that copies the comment author link into a Counter block's data-prefix or data-postfix attribute. The script runs for each visitor who loads the Counter into the viewport once the comment is published.

Description from the CNA

The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'url (comment_author_url)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 13.2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the affected page to be configured with a GreenShift Interaction Layer attach-attribute action that copies a comment-author anchor's href into a Counter block's data-prefix or data-postfix attribute; given that configuration, the payload executes for every visitor who loads the Counter into the viewport once the comment is published.
