CVE-2024-0703: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpcalc Sticky Buttons – Floating Buttons Builder
The Sticky Buttons – floating buttons builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via sticky URLs in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.2 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
The Sticky Buttons – Floating Buttons Builder plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated users with administrator privileges can inject arbitrary scripts via sticky URLs because the plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape input/output. This vulnerability affects multi-site WordPress setups or installations where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, potentially allowing malicious script execution when other users access the compromised pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium impact with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and required privileges. No patch or remediation details are currently provided by the vendor.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access on affected WordPress multi-site installations or sites with unfiltered_html disabled can inject and store malicious scripts via sticky URLs. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L). There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Sticky Buttons – Floating Buttons Builder plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor vendor channels for updates or official patches.
