Executive Summary

The Breakdance WordPress plugin has a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to 2.7.1. It allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts via the 'fields' parameter due to poor input sanitization and output escaping. These scripts execute when users access infected pages.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your WordPress site uses the Breakdance plugin version 2.7.1 or earlier. Inspect form submissions for stored scripts in the admin panel, particularly in the Form Submissions feature. Look for unexpected HTML or JavaScript in stored form data.

Impact Analysis

Attackers could steal user sessions, redirect to malicious sites, or perform actions on behalf of users. It specifically targets admin submission details in the Form Submissions feature, exposing sensitive data when viewed by authorized users.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Organizations may face compliance penalties if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the Breakdance plugin to version 2.7.2 or later. Disable the Store Submission feature in Breakdance forms if not required. Review stored form submissions for malicious scripts and remove any suspicious entries.
