CVE-2024-12271: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jtermaat 360 Javascript Viewer
The 360 Javascript Viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘ref’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.29 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-12271 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 360 Javascript Viewer WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 1.7.29. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'ref' parameter, which allows authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, enabling persistent script execution when the injected page is viewed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a network attack vector, high attack complexity, required high privileges, no user interaction, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access on affected WordPress multi-site installations or where unfiltered_html is disabled can inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'ref' parameter. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise of the affected site through script execution in users' browsers. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability does not affect single-site installations or those with unfiltered_html enabled.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are currently available. Users should monitor the vendor or plugin repository for updates addressing this vulnerability. Until a patch is released, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 360 Javascript Viewer plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Review plugin usage and configurations to minimize exposure.
