Published: Thu May 02 2024 (05/02/2024, 16:52:19 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: aharonyan
Product: Guest posting / Frontend Posting / Front Editor – WP Front User Submit

Description

The Guest posting / Frontend Posting wordpress plugin – WP Front User Submit / Front Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via form settings in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.7 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 WP Front User Submit / Front Editor plugin for WordPress versions up to 4.4.7 suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with administrator privileges can exploit this by injecting malicious scripts via form settings. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability only affects multi-site setups or installations with unfiltered_html disabled, limiting its scope. No official patch or vendor advisory is provided in the available data.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level permissions can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute when other users access those pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of user credentials or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The vulnerability does not affect availability. The impact is constrained by the requirement for high privileges and specific WordPress configurations (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled).

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin in affected environments. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor that address this vulnerability.
