CVE-2024-12462: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in andersyogo YOGO Booking
The YOGO Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'yogo-calendar' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.2 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
CVE-2024-12462 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the YOGO Booking WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.6.2). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'yogo-calendar' shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of any user viewing the injected page. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and low confidentiality and integrity impacts.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'yogo-calendar' shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No known exploitation in the wild has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the YOGO Booking plugin if possible. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
