CVE-2024-50443: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in WPXPO PostX
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WPXPO PostX ultimate-post.This issue affects PostX: from n/a through <= 4.1.12.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in WPXPO PostX (<= 4.1.12) involves improper neutralization of input during web page generation, enabling cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. An attacker with low privileges and requiring user interaction could exploit this to cause partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, limited privileges, required user interaction, scope change, and low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected site, potentially leading to partial disclosure of information, modification of data, or disruption of service. The impact is limited to low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as per the CVSS vector. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
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 user input and consider applying temporary mitigations such as input validation or disabling the vulnerable functionality if feasible. Monitor the vendor's channels for updates and patches.
