Vendor/Project: mdhadid
Product: Mhr Post Ticker

Description

The Mhr Post Ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Header Title value in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, 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

CVE-2024-3021 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Mhr Post Ticker WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.1). It arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the Header Title value. Authenticated attackers with administrator privileges on multi-site WordPress installations or where unfiltered_html is disabled can inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4 (medium severity), with attack vector network, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and scope changed.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or content manipulation. The vulnerability does not affect standalone installations or those with unfiltered_html enabled. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. As a temporary mitigation, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Mhr Post Ticker plugin on multi-site installations or where unfiltered_html is disabled until a fix is released.
