AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2024-1046 is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) issue in the ProfilePress WordPress plugin, specifically in the 'reg-number-field' shortcode. It arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts. These scripts are stored and executed in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 4.14.3. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. Confidentiality and integrity impacts are low, with no availability impact. There is no vendor advisory or patch information currently available.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'reg-number-field' shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure within the context of the affected site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. The vulnerability does not require user interaction to trigger once the malicious content is stored.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the 'reg-number-field' shortcode if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from properfraction and apply them promptly once released.
