Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: aishan
Product: Lazy load videos and sticky control

Description

The Lazy load videos and sticky control plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'lazy-load-videos-and-sticky-control' 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-11428 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the aishan Lazy load videos and sticky control WordPress plugin. It arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute when any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.0.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the page, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions. The vulnerability does not impact availability but affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent. No known exploits have been 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 available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation.
