CVE-2024-10874: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in oooorgle Quotes llama
The Quotes llama plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'quotes-llama' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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
The Quotes llama plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.0.0 suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the plugin fails to adequately sanitize and escape user-supplied attributes in its 'quotes-llama' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of any user who views the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-10874 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). No patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts such as theft of user credentials or session tokens. Availability is not affected. The vulnerability requires authentication but has low attack complexity and no user interaction is needed once the malicious content is injected.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Quotes llama plugin if possible. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly when available.
