CVE-2024-11935: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in neotrendy Email Address Obfuscation
The Email Address Obfuscation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘class’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 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-2024-11935 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the neotrendy Email Address Obfuscation WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.0.1. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'class' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the injected page, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at low level, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject and store malicious scripts in pages generated by the plugin. When other users view these pages, the scripts execute in their browsers, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as data theft or session compromise. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known active exploits reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or replacing the Email Address Obfuscation plugin to prevent exploitation.
