CVE-2024-11433: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in surbma Surbma | SalesAutopilot Shortcode
The Surbma | SalesAutopilot Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'sa-form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.5 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-2024-11433 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Surbma | SalesAutopilot Shortcode WordPress plugin (up to version 2.5). It results from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the 'sa-form' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. There are no known active exploits reported.
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 Surbma | SalesAutopilot Shortcode plugin if feasible. Monitor for vendor updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
