CVE-2024-13802: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in kwestion505 Bandsintown Events
The Bandsintown Events plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'bandsintown_events' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1 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-2024-13802 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Bandsintown Events plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.3.1. The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'bandsintown_events' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to information disclosure or manipulation of user sessions. The vulnerability does not impact availability. 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. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the Bandsintown Events plugin if possible. Monitor official sources for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
