Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: averta
Product: Premium Portfolio Features for Phlox theme

Description

The Premium Portfolio Features for Phlox theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'aux_recent_portfolios_grid' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-1384 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Premium Portfolio Features for Phlox theme WordPress plugin. It arises from improper neutralization of input in the 'aux_recent_portfolios_grid' shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.3.4. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided, and no known exploits have been reported.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the victim's browser. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity partially but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild.

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 permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Premium Portfolio Features for Phlox theme plugin if feasible. Monitor for vendor updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
