CVE-2024-13472: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in wcproducttable Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite
The The WooCommerce Product Table Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.4. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The same 'sc_attrs' parameter is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting as well.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13472 affects the WooCommerce Product Table and List Builder for WooCommerce Lite plugin for WordPress. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly validate input before executing shortcodes via the do_shortcode function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. The same input parameter ('sc_attrs') is also susceptible to reflected XSS attacks. This improper control of code generation (CWE-94) can lead to limited confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary shortcodes within the WordPress environment, potentially leading to code injection. This can result in limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The reflected XSS vulnerability may allow attackers to execute scripts in the context of users viewing crafted URLs, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, consider disabling or restricting use of the affected plugin to trusted users only, or removing it if not essential. Avoid exposing the vulnerable functionality to untrusted users.
