CVE-2024-47340: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in PickPlugins Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in PickPlugins Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks post-grid allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks: from n/a through <= 2.2.89.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves improper input sanitization in PickPlugins Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks (<= 2.2.89), leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). An attacker with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute when a user views the affected content. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges and user interaction, with impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability rated as low to low to low respectively, but the scope is changed.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level but can still pose risks in environments where user input is not properly sanitized.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict privileges of users who can submit content and consider implementing additional input validation or output encoding at the application level to mitigate stored XSS risks.
