CVE-2024-1720: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpeverest User Registration & Membership – Free & Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration & Login Builder
The User Registration – Custom Registration Form, Login Form, and User Profile WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Display Name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This vulnerability requires social engineering to successfully exploit, and the impact would be very limited due to the attacker requiring a user to login as the user with the injected payload for execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in the wpeverest User Registration & Membership plugin allows stored XSS via the 'Display Name' parameter due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The flaw affects all plugin versions up to 3.1.4. Attackers can inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users who view the injected content after logging in. The attack vector requires user interaction (UI:R) and has a high attack complexity (AC:H). Confidentiality and integrity impacts are limited, and availability is unaffected.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts by executing arbitrary scripts in the context of logged-in users. However, the attacker must rely on social engineering to have a user log in and trigger the payload, limiting the overall impact. There is no impact on system availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with untrusted input in the 'Display Name' field and consider disabling or restricting this plugin feature. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
