CVE-2024-13850: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ramon-fincken Simple add pages or posts
The Simple add pages or posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0 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
The Simple add pages or posts plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in all versions up to 2.0.0. This vulnerability allows authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages due to improper input sanitization and output escaping. The issue specifically affects multi-site WordPress installations or those where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, enabling script execution when the injected pages are viewed. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into WordPress pages. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to confidentiality and integrity impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges, limiting the attack surface to trusted administrators on multi-site or restricted HTML installations.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should review plugin usage in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled and consider restricting administrator access or disabling the plugin until a fix is released. Monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates regarding a patch or official remediation guidance. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
