CVE-2024-2460: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in rubengc GamiPress – Button
The GamiPress – Button plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'gamipress_button' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7 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
CVE-2024-2460 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the GamiPress – Button plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.0.7. The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'gamipress_button' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user who accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or manipulation of user sessions. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild reported at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the GamiPress – Button plugin if feasible. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor that address this vulnerability.
