CVE-2024-11786: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wphostingdev Login with Vipps and MobilePay
The Login with Vipps and MobilePay plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'continue-with-vipps' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.3 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-2024-11786 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Login with Vipps and MobilePay WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.3.3). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'continue-with-vipps' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch or vendor advisory has been provided to date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authentication and is exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction needed.
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 if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from wphostingdev that address this vulnerability.
