Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
The 10Web Social Post Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Please note this is only exploitable when the leave a review notice is present.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The 10Web Social Post Feed WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.9) contains a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The flaw stems from the use of WordPress add_query_arg() function to modify URLs without proper output escaping/sanitization. This allows injection of arbitrary JavaScript through specially crafted URL parameters. Exploitation requires the 'leave a review' admin notice to be present and tricking a user into clicking a malicious link.

MitigationUpdate the 10Web Social Post Feed plugin to version 1.2.10 or later. Until patched, warn administrators against clicking untrusted links while logged into WordPress admin areas where this notice appears.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify plugin installation and version
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins. Locate '10Web Social Post Feed' and note the version number displayed.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.2.9 or lower.
  2. Confirm vulnerable version range
    Compare the installed version against the affected range: versions up to and including 1.2.9 are vulnerable.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.2.9 or any earlier version.
  3. Locate the vulnerable code pattern
    Inspect the plugin files for usage of add_query_arg() without corresponding esc_url() or esc_attr() when building URLs. The vulnerability lies in how URLs are constructed for admin notices.
    Affected if The plugin code uses add_query_arg() to modify URLs and those URLs are not properly escaped before output.
  4. Check for admin notice functionality
    Search the plugin source code for 'leave a review' notice implementation or admin notice hooks that render the vulnerable URL. This is the exploitation vector.
    Affected if The plugin contains admin notice code that displays the 'leave a review' prompt and constructs URLs using add_query_arg().

If the 10Web Social Post Feed plugin is installed at version 1.2.9 or lower, the environment is affected by this reflected XSS vulnerability.
