CVE-2024-3519: CWE-87 Improper Neutralization of Alternate XSS Syntax in dglingren Media Library Assistant
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the lang parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.15 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-2024-3519 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Media Library Assistant WordPress plugin (dglingren) affecting all versions up to 3.15. The issue is due to improper neutralization of alternate XSS syntax (CWE-87) in the lang parameter, which allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser when they interact with a crafted URL. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity but no impact on availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of a victim's browser session, potentially leading to information disclosure or manipulation of the user interface. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and does not require authentication. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should exercise caution with untrusted links involving the lang parameter in Media Library Assistant plugin pages. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply any released patches promptly.
