CVE-2022-3149 — Wp Custom Cursors Project Wp Custom Cursors security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.1

The WP Custom Cursors WordPress plugin before 3.0.1 does not have CSRF check in place when creating and editing cursors, which could allow attackers to made a logged in admin perform such actions via CSRF attacks. Furthermore, due to the lack of sanitisation and escaping in some of the cursor options, it could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Cross-site scripting and unsafe browser output

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace reflected, stored, and DOM-derived untrusted values into HTML, attributes, URLs, styles, scripts, and client-side template sinks.
  • Identify affected origins, authenticated user roles, sensitive browser capabilities, and where content is shared across tenants.
  • Review framework escaping, rich-text sanitization, legacy templates, and client-side rendering paths.

Remediate safely

  • Use context-aware framework output encoding and safe DOM APIs; keep untrusted data out of executable contexts.
  • Sanitize intentionally supported markup with a maintained allowlist policy and validate URLs and attributes separately.
  • Update affected rendering components and add tests for every output context using inert sentinel markup.
