Published: Tue Feb 20 2024 (02/20/2024, 18:56:44 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: f1logic
Product: Insert PHP Code Snippet

Description

The Insert PHP Code Snippet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the user's name when accessing the insert-php-code-snippet-manage page in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-0658 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Insert PHP Code Snippet plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.3.4. The vulnerability occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of the user's name on the insert-php-code-snippet-manage page. Exploitation requires authenticated administrator-level access and affects multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. Successful exploitation allows injection of arbitrary web scripts that execute when the affected page is viewed.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrator privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or defacement. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges and specific configuration (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled) to be exploitable.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, limit administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Insert PHP Code Snippet plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled to reduce risk.
