Published: Tue Apr 02 2024 (04/02/2024, 06:47:43 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: extendthemes
Product: Colibri Page Builder

Description

The Colibri Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'colibri_post_title' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.263 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes such as 'heading_type'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-2839 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Colibri Page Builder WordPress plugin. It arises from improper neutralization of input in the 'colibri_post_title' shortcode, specifically the 'heading_type' attribute, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript. This script executes in the context of users viewing the injected page, potentially compromising user sessions or data. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.0.263. No patch or official fix has been documented yet.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode attribute. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authenticated access, limiting its scope. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'colibri_post_title' shortcode. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply any released patches promptly.
