CVE-2026-7330 Details
Description
The Auto Affiliate Links plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 6.8.8 This is due to insufficient input sanitization on the 'url' POST parameter in the aal_url_stats_save_action() function and a complete absence of output escaping in aal_display_clicks(), where the stored value is echoed directly into an anchor element's href attribute and inner text without esc_url(), esc_attr(), or esc_html(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into the admin statistics page that execute in an administrator's browser when the page is visited, leveraging a publicly exposed nonce and an unauthenticated AJAX endpoint registered via the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Auto Affiliate Links plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 6.8.8. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization of the 'url' POST parameter in the 'aal_url_stats_save_action()' function. Additionally, there is a complete lack of output escaping in 'aal_display_clicks()', where the stored value is directly echoed into an anchor element's href attribute and inner text without using the appropriate WordPress escaping functions. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into the admin statistics page, which are executed in the browser of an administrator visiting the page. The exploitation leverages a publicly exposed nonce and an unauthenticated AJAX endpoint registered with the 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' hook.
Users are advised to update the Auto Affiliate Links plugin to version 6.8.8.1 or a newer patched version.
