CVE-2024-2293: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in geminilabs Site Reviews
The Site Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the user display name in all versions up to, and including, 6.11.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2293 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the geminilabs Site Reviews WordPress plugin. It affects all versions up to 6.11.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the user display name. Authenticated attackers with subscriber or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts that execute when users access the injected pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages via the user display name field. These scripts execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or other unauthorized actions impacting confidentiality and integrity. There is no direct impact on system availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user permissions where possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to user display names. Avoid visiting or sharing links to pages that may contain injected scripts. Apply standard WordPress security best practices to limit exposure.
