Awesome Support plugin lets logged‑in users run scripts

CVE-2026-96268 · published 1 month ago
Summary

The Awesome Support HelpDesk & Support plugin for WordPress (up to version 6.4.0) allows users with subscriber access or higher to insert malicious code that runs when others view certain pages. This occurs because the plugin does not properly check or clean the data it receives. Update the plugin to a newer version or apply a patch that validates and sanitizes input to stop the issue.

Original advisory text
The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'gdpr-data' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0...
The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'gdpr-data' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is exploitable by Subscriber-level users against other accounts because the AJAX handlers accept an arbitrary gdpr-user ID without verifying it belongs to the requester, and the required wpas-gdpr-nonce is emitted via wp_localize_script to every logged-in user on frontend plugin pages and on /wp-admin/profile.php.
