CVE-2024-13399: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in gosign Gosign – Posts Slider Block
The Gosign – Posts Slider Block plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'posts-slider-block' block in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 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-2024-13399 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Gosign – Posts Slider Block WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.0. The vulnerability results from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts via the 'posts-slider-block' block. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring privileges but no user interaction, and impacting confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they access the compromised pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions such as theft of sensitive information or session tokens. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
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 to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Gosign – Posts Slider Block plugin if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
