CVE-2024-5884: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in allprices Beauty
The Beauty theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘tpl_featured_cat_id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-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-2024-5884 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Beauty WordPress theme by allprices, affecting all versions up to 1.1.4. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'tpl_featured_cat_id' parameter, allowing authenticated users with at least Subscriber privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when other users access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required. No patch or official fix details are provided in the input data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the context of other users viewing the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing actions on behalf of users. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild currently.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level user capabilities if possible and monitor for suspicious activity related to script injection. Avoid using affected versions of the Beauty theme or consider disabling the vulnerable feature if feasible.
