CVE-2024-11930: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in taskbuilder Taskbuilder – Project Management & Task Management Tool With Kanban Board
The Taskbuilder – WordPress Project & Task Management plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wppm_tasks shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.6 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
The Taskbuilder WordPress plugin (up to version 3.0.6) suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the wppm_tasks shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users viewing the injected content. This vulnerability allows for potential compromise of user sessions or actions within the affected WordPress site. No patch or official fix details are currently provided.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the wppm_tasks shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who access the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or data exposure limited to the privileges of the victim user. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires authentication, which limits the attack surface.
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 Taskbuilder plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
