CVE-2024-10793: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in melapress WP Activity Log
The WP Activity Log plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the user_id parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever an administrative user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10793 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the WP Activity Log plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 5.2.1. The issue is caused by improper neutralization of input in the user_id parameter, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of administrative users when they access the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). No official patch or vendor advisory is referenced in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of administrative users, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of administrative sessions. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild as per the current data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrative access and consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input targeting the user_id parameter. Avoid accessing suspicious or untrusted pages that may contain injected scripts.
