Description

The WP Video Lightbox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘width’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.10 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2024-4324 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Video Lightbox plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.9.10. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'width' parameter, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level, with no user interaction needed and a scope change. No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'width' parameter, which execute in the context of users viewing those pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session compromise. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP Video Lightbox plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security community regarding patches or workarounds.
