Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: themeum
Product: WP Crowdfunding

Description

The WP Crowdfunding plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wpcf_donate shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-10117 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Crowdfunding WordPress plugin (themeum) affecting all versions up to 2.1.11. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the wpcf_donate shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of other users viewing the injected content, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting a medium impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts via the wpcf_donate shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts. Availability is not affected. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require authenticated access with specific privileges.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the wpcf_donate shortcode. Monitor for updates from the themeum vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
