CVE-2024-13670: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in efreja Music Sheet Viewer
The Music Sheet Viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'pn_msv' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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-2024-13670 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the efreja Music Sheet Viewer WordPress plugin (versions up to 4.1). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'pn_msv' shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to theft of user data or session tokens (confidentiality impact) and unauthorized modification of displayed content (integrity impact). There is no direct impact on system availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, limiting exploitation scope.
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 Music Sheet Viewer plugin if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from efreja that address this vulnerability.
