CVE-2024-11764: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in covertcommunication Solar Wizard Lite
The Solar Wizard Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'solar_wizard' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.4 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-2024-11764 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Solar Wizard Lite WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.4). The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'solar_wizard' shortcode attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of any user viewing the affected page, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability requires network access and low attack complexity but does not require user interaction beyond viewing the injected page. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, reflecting these characteristics.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of session tokens or manipulation of page content. There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.2.4 of Solar Wizard Lite. 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 a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Solar Wizard Lite plugin if not essential. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin repository to apply an official fix once released.
