CVE-2024-13748: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in webcodingplace Ultimate Classified Listings
The Ultimate Classified Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Title parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13748 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Ultimate Classified Listings WordPress plugin by webcodingplace. The flaw exists in the handling of the Title parameter, where input is not properly sanitized or escaped before being rendered in web pages. This allows authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The issue specifically affects multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access on affected WordPress multi-site installations or with unfiltered_html disabled can inject malicious scripts via the Title parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges and complex attack conditions, limiting its impact scope.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Ultimate Classified Listings plugin on multi-site installations or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
