CVE-2024-5457: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in pandavideo Panda Video
The Panda Video plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-5457 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Panda Video WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.4.0. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'id' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages. This can lead to partial disclosure of confidential information and alteration of data integrity within the affected WordPress site. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have 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 Panda Video plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
