Technical Summary

The Find And Replace content for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized Stored Cross-Site Scripting and Arbitrary Content Replacement due to a missing capability check on the far_admin_ajax_fun() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that can make privilege escalation and malicious redirects possible.

Potential Impact

Severity is HIGH (CVSS 7.2). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
