CVE-2024-4462: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in freephp-1 Nafeza Prayer Time
The Nafeza Prayer Time plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-4462 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Nafeza Prayer Time WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.2.9. It occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation in the plugin's admin settings. Authenticated users with administrator-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. This vulnerability is limited to multi-site WordPress installations or installations where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and required privileges.
Potential Impact
An authenticated administrator can inject malicious scripts into the plugin's admin settings, which are then stored and executed in the context of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts within the WordPress environment. There is no indication of availability impact or known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, limit administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or avoiding use of the plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
