CVE-2024-10790: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in qriouslad Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE)
The Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file. This feature must be enabled, and for specific roles in order to be exploitable.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10790 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the qriouslad Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to 7.5.1 due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically via SVG file uploads. Authenticated users with custom-level access or above can inject malicious scripts that execute when the SVG file is viewed, contingent on the feature being enabled for their role. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (medium severity). There is no indication of an official patch or fix at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with custom-level access or higher to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts in the context of the affected site. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation, but does not affect availability. The attack requires user interaction (UI:R) and privileges (PR:L). No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict SVG upload permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling the SVG upload feature if not required. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor and apply official patches once released.
