Stored XSS in Alfie – Feed Plugin for WordPress Allows Admin Hijacking

Publication date: 2026-03-21

Last updated on: 2026-03-21

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Alfie – Feed Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'naam' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the alfie_option_page() function combined with insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts that will be stored in the plugin's database and execute whenever a user accesses the page displaying the injected data, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Executive Summary

The Alfie – Feed Plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'naam' parameter in all versions up to and including 1.2.1. This vulnerability exists because the plugin's alfie_option_page() function lacks nonce validation and does not properly sanitize or escape input and output. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts that get stored in the plugin's database and execute when a user views the affected page.

An attacker can exploit this by tricking a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking a malicious link, which then triggers the execution of the injected script.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute malicious scripts in the context of the affected website when an administrator views the compromised page. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as stealing administrator session cookies, defacing the website, or performing actions on behalf of the administrator.

Since the vulnerability requires user interaction (an administrator clicking a link), it can be used to escalate attacks by compromising administrative control over the site.
