Description

The LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URLs in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 7.5.0.1. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape input from URLs, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts. These scripts can execute in a user's browser if the user is tricked into clicking a crafted link.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially leading to theft of user data, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of the user. Since it requires user interaction (clicking a link), it can be used in phishing attacks to compromise users visiting the site.
