CVE-2024-12320: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in markodonnell Team Rosters
The Team Rosters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘tab’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.7 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
CVE-2024-12320 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Team Rosters plugin for WordPress (up to version 4.7). The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'tab' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts. This occurs because the plugin fails to adequately sanitize and escape user-supplied input before including it in web page output. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 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.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially allowing theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive information accessible to the browser. The vulnerability requires user interaction (e.g., clicking a malicious link) and does not require authentication. There is no indication of impact on system availability. No known active exploits have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. In the meantime, consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious payloads targeting the 'tab' parameter. Avoid clicking on suspicious links referencing the affected plugin. Once a patch is released, apply it promptly to remediate the vulnerability.
