CVE-2024-0625: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in syammohanm WPFront Notification Bar
The WPFront Notification Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘wpfront-notification-bar-options[custom_class]’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-0625 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WPFront Notification Bar WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 3.3.2. The vulnerability exists due to improper neutralization of input in the 'wpfront-notification-bar-options[custom_class]' parameter, which allows authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, enabling script execution in pages viewed by other users.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking within the affected WordPress multi-site environment or installations with restricted HTML capabilities. The impact is limited by the requirement for administrator privileges and specific installation configurations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WPFront Notification Bar plugin in multi-site or restricted HTML environments. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
