Published: Tue Mar 26 2024 (03/26/2024, 04:31:41 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: kurudrive
Product: VK All in One Expansion Unit

Description

The VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the child page index widget in all versions up to, and including, 9.96.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes such as 'className.' 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

The VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the child page index widget fails to properly sanitize and escape user-supplied attributes such as 'className'. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 9.96.0.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild or vendor patches are currently documented.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher user to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users accessing the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information or modification of content within the affected WordPress site. The vulnerability does not impact availability. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk due to the requirement for authenticated access and the potential for confidentiality and integrity impacts.

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 limiting use of the child page index widget in the VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin. Monitor official kurudrive or WordPress plugin sources for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
