CVE-2024-5925: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in tislam100 Theron Lite
The Theron Lite theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘url’ parameter within the theme's Button shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0 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
The Theron Lite WordPress theme (versions up to 2.0) contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'url' parameter in its Button shortcode. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts that persist and execute when other users access the compromised page. The vulnerability is due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the theme's code. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level. No patch or official remediation has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Contributor or higher privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure when other users view the infected content.
