CVE-2024-10895: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in logichunt Counter Up – Animated Number Counter & Milestone Showcase
The Counter Up – Animated Number Counter & Milestone Showcase plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'lgx-counter' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.0 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
CVE-2024-10895 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the logichunt Counter Up – Animated Number Counter & Milestone Showcase WordPress plugin (up to version 2.4.0). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'lgx-counter' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when any user accesses the page containing the injected shortcode, potentially leading to client-side code execution. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 (medium severity).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site. This can lead to theft of user session data, defacement, or other client-side impacts. There is no indication of impact on availability or server-side compromise. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
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 plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or WordPress plugin repository to apply an official fix once available.
