Summary

The Content Pilot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 2.2.4. The plugin extracts HTML meta descriptions from remotely fetched RSS articles, processes them without proper sanitization, and saves them as post content, allowing an unauthenticated attacker controlling an RSS source to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute when a user visits the injected page.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can inject malicious scripts via RSS feeds, potentially leading to session hijacking or further attacks. This affects the integrity and security of the website.

Recommendation

Update the Content Pilot plugin to a version later than 2.2.4. It is also recommended to verify trusted RSS sources and restrict automatic publishing from unknown sources.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Content Pilot – Autoblogging & Affiliate Marketing Suite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.2.4. This is due to the plugin extracting the HTML meta description from each remotely-fetched article (WPCP_Readability::parse_meta()), piping that value through the article template substitution and html_entity_decode() in WPCP_Module::insert_post(), and then calling wp_insert_post() after switching the current user to the configured campaign author (an Administrator with the unfiltered_html capability by default) — so no wp_kses_post sanitization is applied to the attacker-controlled HTML before it is persisted as post_content and rendered on the front end. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who control the content of any RSS source an administrator has configured a Content Pilot RSS campaign to consume to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
