CVE-2022-1435

CVE-2022-1435 describes a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WPCargo Track & Trace WordPress plugin prior to version 6.9.5. This flaw allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to inject malicious scripts due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of plugin settings, even when unfiltered_html is disabled. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 4.8 (Medium), indicating a network-based attack requiring high privileges and user interaction, with potential for low impact on confidentiality and integrity. The attack complexity is low, but the scope is changed, meaning the attacker can affect resources beyond their immediate privileges. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, nor are there publicly available exploit modules in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting low public awareness and attention.
