CVE-2024-1070: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in gpriday SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the features attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.58.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access or higher, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'features' attribute. Authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that persist in pages and execute upon page access. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.58.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction. No patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable 'features' attribute. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited by the need for authenticated contributor-level access and does not affect availability.
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 access to trusted users only and consider monitoring or disabling the affected plugin. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users to reduce risk.
