VulnerabilityCVE-2024-6225cvecve-2024-6225cwe-79
Published: Fri Jun 21 2024 (06/21/2024, 07:39:57 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: ameliabooking
Product: Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia

Description

The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5 (and 7.5.1 for the Pro version) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Analysis

The Amelia Booking plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated administrators can inject arbitrary scripts through the admin settings interface. This vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, allowing malicious scripts to execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The issue affects all versions up to 1.1.5 (standard) and 7.5.1 (Pro). No official patch or remediation information is provided in the data.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to information disclosure or other impacts associated with cross-site scripting. The vulnerability does not allow privilege escalation or denial of service directly but can facilitate further attacks leveraging the injected scripts. The impact is limited to multi-site or restricted unfiltered_html environments.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling multi-site installations or enabling unfiltered_html if feasible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
