CVE-2024-11761: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in legalweb LegalWeb Cloud
The LegalWeb Cloud plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'legalweb-popup' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 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-2024-11761 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the LegalWeb Cloud plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.1.2. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'legalweb-popup' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user who accesses the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data manipulation limited to the scope of the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the LegalWeb Cloud plugin if feasible to mitigate risk.
