AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-2953 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the LuckyWP Table of Contents WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.1.4). The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher roles to inject arbitrary web scripts through multiple parameters. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, indicating medium severity. No patch or remediation details are currently available from the vendor or public advisories.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor or higher permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of user data or session tokens. Availability is not affected. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and does not involve user interaction beyond viewing the affected page.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor and higher permissions to trusted users only to reduce risk. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor that address this vulnerability.
