CVE-2024-3916: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Swift Ideas Swift Framework
The Swift Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via several of the plugin's shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.31 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response from the vendor to send over the vulnerability details.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-3916 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Swift Framework WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 2.7.31. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), specifically due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of user-supplied shortcode attributes. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or above can exploit this to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. No vendor advisory or patch is currently available, and no known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with contributor or higher privileges to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS score of 6.4.
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 affected shortcodes. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security community regarding patches or official mitigations.
