CVE-2024-13508: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in masaakitanaka Booking Package
The Booking Package plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the locale parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.72 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13508 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Booking Package plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.6.72. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the locale parameter, which allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser when they click a crafted link. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.1 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other actions performed with the user's privileges. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. 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. Since no patch or official fix is currently indicated, users should monitor for updates from the plugin vendor. Until a fix is available, avoid clicking on suspicious links that may exploit this vulnerability and consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block reflected XSS attempts targeting the locale parameter.
