Known vulnerabilities
Public vulnerability reports for SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle, the versions they affect and the version in this repository that fixes them. Watchers and accounts known to run an affected version are alerted.
The vendor fixed it in 1.75.0; that version is not in the repository yet.
3 versions in this repository are affected: 1.67.2, 1.64.2, 1.62.2
Details
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.74.3 via the get_instance_css function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The widget's normal update()/sanitize_field_input() pipeline — which would reject non-hex color values — is bypassed entirely because the [siteorigin_widget] shortcode handler calls $the_widget->widget() directly on the attacker-supplied decoded JSON instance.
Remediation: Update to version 1.75.0, or a newer patched version
CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory
The vendor fixed it in 1.74.0; that version is not in the repository yet.
3 versions in this repository are affected: 1.67.2, 1.64.2, 1.62.2
Details
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.73.2 via the 'theme' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. Exploitation requires sending a malicious widgetData payload containing a legacy top-level theme key alongside a non-empty columns array to the /wp-json/sowb/v1/widgets/previews REST endpoint, which bypasses field validation because update_fields() only processes declared form fields.
Remediation: Update to version 1.74.0, or a newer patched version
CWE-98: Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program
The vendor fixed it in 1.71.0; that version is not in the repository yet.
3 versions in this repository are affected: 1.67.2, 1.64.2, 1.62.2
Details
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.70.4. This is due to a missing capability check on the `siteorigin_widget_preview_widget_action()` function which is registered via the `wp_ajax_so_widgets_preview` AJAX action. The function only verifies a nonce (`widgets_action`) but does not check user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute arbitrary shortcodes by invoking the `SiteOrigin_Widget_Editor_Widget` via the preview endpoint. The required nonce is exposed on the public frontend when the Post Carousel widget is present on a page, embedded in the `data-ajax-url` HTML attribute.
Remediation: Update to version 1.71.0, or a newer patched version
The vendor fixed it in 1.69.0; that version is not in the repository yet.
3 versions in this repository are affected: 1.67.2, 1.64.2, 1.62.2
Details
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `data-url` DOM Element Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.68.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Remediation: Update to version 1.69.0, or a newer patched version
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on a function in all versions up to, and including, 1.64.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to perform an unauthorized action.
Remediation: Update to version 1.64.1, or a newer patched version
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Image Grid widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.62.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Remediation: Update to version 1.62.3, or a newer patched version
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's SiteOrigin Blog Widget in all versions up to, and including, 1.61.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Remediation: Update to version 1.62.0, or a newer patched version
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'siteorigin_widget' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.60.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Remediation: Update to version 1.61.0, or a newer patched version
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.58.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Affected parameters include: $instance['fonts']['title_options']['tag'], $headline_tag, $sub_headline_tag, $feature['icon'].
Remediation: Update to version 1.58.8, or a newer patched version
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the features attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.58.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
