VulnerabilityCVE-2024-2656cvecve-2024-2656cwe-79
Published: Sat Apr 06 2024 (04/06/2024, 03:24:43 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: icegram
Product: Email Subscribers & Newsletters – Email Marketing, Post Notifications & Newsletter Plugin for WordPress

Description

The Email Subscribers by Icegram Express – Email Marketing, Newsletters, Automation for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a CSV import in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.14 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Analysis

The Email Subscribers by Icegram Express WordPress plugin is vulnerable to stored XSS via CSV import due to improper input sanitization and output escaping. Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts that execute when users access affected pages. This vulnerability affects multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, in all versions up to 5.7.14. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages via CSV import. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. The vulnerability only affects specific WordPress configurations (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled). There are no reports of exploitation in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and avoid importing CSV files from untrusted sources. Monitor for updates from Icegram regarding patches or official mitigations.
