CVE-2024-5426: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in 10web Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery
The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘svg’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.23 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. By default, this can only be exploited by administrators, but the ability to use and configure Photo Gallery can be extended to contributors on pro versions of the plugin.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Photo Gallery by 10Web plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability via the 'svg' parameter. This occurs because the plugin does not properly neutralize input or escape output, allowing authenticated attackers with administrator or contributor privileges (in pro versions) to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.8.23. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with elevated privileges (administrators or contributors in pro versions) to inject malicious scripts that execute in other users' browsers when they access the affected pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited by the requirement for authenticated access with specific roles. There is no indication of denial of service or direct system compromise.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrative and contributor access to trusted users only. Monitor plugin updates from 10Web for an official fix. Avoid using the vulnerable 'svg' parameter or disable the plugin if possible as a temporary measure.
