CVE-2018-3810

oturiasmart google code inserter

Authentication Bypass vulnerability in the Oturia Smart Google Code Inserter plugin before 3.5 for WordPress allows unauthenticated attackers to insert arbitrary JavaScript or HTML code (via the sgcgoogleanalytic parameter) that runs on all pages served by WordPress. The saveGoogleCode() function in smartgooglecode.php does not check if the current request is made by an authorized user, thus allowing any unauthenticated user to successfully update the inserted code.

Assessment

Smart Google Code Inserter before 3.5 lacks an authorization check in saveGoogleCode(), allowing unauthenticated insertion of JavaScript or HTML across a WordPress site. The record is critical (CVSS 9.8) with EPSS 0.91141, but no exploit or exploitation evidence is supplied.

Why it matters

  • Injected code can run on every page served by the affected WordPress installation.
  • Site-wide script control can affect visitors and administrative users.

Evidence

1 record references and 1 source references passed trusted post-response validation. The current deterministic record contains 0 independent evidence groups.

Uncertainties

Affected plugin deployment and endpoint exposure are unknown.

EPSS is predictive; exploit availability, public exploitation, and first-party observation remain unknown.

First-party honeypot request semantics are potentially consistent with this CVE. This is an unconfirmed candidate match, not proof of exploitation or successful execution.

Next watchpoint

Plugin versions below 3.5.
