CVE-2022-0661 is a critical vulnerability affecting the Ad Injection WordPress plugin up to version 1.2.0.19. It allows a high-privileged user (Admin+) to inject unsanitized HTML or JavaScript, resulting in a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Additionally, PHP code injection is possible, leading to Remote Code Execution (RCE), even if file editing and modification are disallowed. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.2 (HIGH), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity, requiring high privileges, and leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score suggests a moderate likelihood of exploitation compared to other CVEs. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, which is typical for a large percentage of reported vulnerabilities.
