CVE-2024-12590: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in india-web-developer WP Youtube Gallery
The WP Youtube Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.9 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-2024-12590 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the india-web-developer WP Youtube Gallery plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.9. The vulnerability allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts through the 'id' parameter due to improper input neutralization during web page generation. This can lead to script execution in the context of users viewing the injected pages. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who access the compromised pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation, but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
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 access and above to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the WP Youtube Gallery plugin if it is not essential. Monitor for updates from the india-web-developer vendor regarding patches or mitigations.
