CVE-2024-12699: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in themepoints Service Box
The Service Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting 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
The Service Box WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.9) suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes in the context of users viewing those pages. 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, privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and low confidentiality and integrity impacts.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the Service Box plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially leading to theft of session tokens, user impersonation, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
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 Service Box plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or WordPress plugin repository for patches addressing this vulnerability.
