CVE-2024-1768: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in nayrathemes Clever Fox
The Clever Fox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's info box block in all versions up to, and including, 25.2.0 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Clever Fox WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the info box block. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 25.2.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently provided by the vendor.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher user to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users visiting the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of other users. There is no impact on availability reported. No known active exploitation has been documented.
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 disabling or removing the Clever Fox plugin if feasible. Monitor for updates from nayrathemes regarding a security patch.
