CVE-2024-13667: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in undsgn Uncode
The Uncode theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘mle-description’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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-2024-13667 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Uncode WordPress theme (versions up to 2.9.1.6). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'mle-description' parameter, enabling authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber-level and above) to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of other users viewing the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability is confirmed and published but lacks an official patch or vendor advisory at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised page. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking limited to the scope of the injected script. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires user interaction (viewing the injected page). 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 a patch is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the vulnerable parameter if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or theme maintainers to apply an official fix once released.
