CVE-2024-11825: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in broadstreetads Broadstreet
The Broadstreet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘zone’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.51.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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-2024-11825 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Broadstreet WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 1.51.0. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'zone' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (medium severity) with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages generated by the Broadstreet plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the user. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. 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 an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Broadstreet plugin if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply any official patches promptly once released.
