CVE-2024-2833: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in blueglassch Job Postings
The Jobs for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘job-search’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2833 is a reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the Jobs for WordPress plugin (blueglassch) affecting all versions up to 2.7.5. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'job-search' parameter, which lacks sufficient sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user interacts with a maliciously crafted link. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. There is no vendor advisory or patch currently available, and no known exploits have been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing attackers to steal user session data, perform actions on behalf of the user, or conduct phishing attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction and is exploitable remotely without authentication.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider applying temporary mitigations such as disabling or restricting the use of the 'job-search' parameter if possible, or employing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input targeting this parameter. Monitor official blueglassch communications for updates and patches.
