CVE-2024-12475: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpexpertsio WP Multistore Locator — WP Store Locator Plugin: Effortless Integration With Snazzy Maps
The WP Multi Store Locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.1 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-2024-12475 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Multi Store Locator WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.4.1). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of user-supplied data. Authenticated attackers with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity without availability impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure limited to confidentiality and integrity impacts. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level and higher access to trusted users only. Monitor plugin updates from the vendor and apply any official patches promptly once available.
