CVE-2024-12177: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpmessiah Ai Image Alt Text Generator for WP
The Ai Image Alt Text Generator for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Ai Image Alt Text Generator for WP plugin suffers from a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'page' parameter due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when a user interacts with a crafted link. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.6. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information or session tokens. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction and does not require authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin. Additionally, applying web application firewall (WAF) rules that detect and block reflected XSS attempts targeting the 'page' parameter may help mitigate risk.
