CVE-2024-11464: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in alphabposervice Easy Code Snippets
The Easy Code Snippets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-11464 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Easy Code Snippets plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.2. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'page' parameter, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser upon interaction. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). No patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and the plugin is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting attacks, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts by executing arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a crafted link) and affects the confidentiality and integrity of user data within the affected web session.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider disabling or removing the Easy Code Snippets plugin or applying custom input validation and output escaping for the 'page' parameter. Additionally, educating users to avoid clicking suspicious links can reduce risk. Monitor the vendor's communications for updates on patches or official mitigations.
