CVE-2024-11830: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in dearhive Dear Flipbook – PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook, PDF embed, PDF viewer
The PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook—DearFlip plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via outline settings in all versions up to 2.3.52 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-11830 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Dear Flipbook WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.3.52). The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the outline settings feature. Authenticated users with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when other users view the injected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity without availability impact. No patch or official vendor advisory is currently available, and no known exploits have been reported.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the outline settings. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the affected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to confidentiality and integrity impacts. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authentication and privileges, limiting the attack surface. No known exploitation in the wild has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the outline settings feature in the Dear Flipbook plugin. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
