CVE-2024-2695 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 3uu Shariff Wrapper WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 4.6.13. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the handling of the 'shariff' shortcode attributes. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code via attributes like 'borderradius', 'services', and 'timestamp'. This code executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially allowing theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other sensitive data. The vulnerability does not impact availability. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the attacker’s privileges. No known exploits in the wild have been reported as of the publication date.

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 Shariff Wrapper plugin if feasible. Monitor for updates from the 3uu vendor or WordPress plugin repository to apply an official fix once available.
