CVE-2024-6296: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in bfintal Stackable – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks
The Stackable – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘data-caption’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.13.1 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 Stackable – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'data-caption' parameter. Authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes in the context of users who visit those pages. This vulnerability is present in all plugin versions up to 3.13.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to data theft, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity but does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the Stackable plugin if possible. Monitor for plugin updates that address this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available.
