CVE-2024-10872: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jetmonsters Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `template-post-custom-field` block in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10872 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress. It affects all versions up to and including 2.0.12 and is caused by inadequate sanitization and escaping of user input in the template-post-custom-field block. This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting a medium impact on confidentiality and integrity but no impact on availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure when other users access the affected content. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
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 disabling or limiting use of the template-post-custom-field block. Monitor official jetmonsters communications for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
