Published: Sat Jul 27 2024 (07/27/2024, 01:51:06 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: paritydiscounts
Product: ParityPress – Parity Pricing with Discount Rules

Description

The ParityPress – Parity Pricing with Discount Rules plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Discount Text' in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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 ParityPress – Parity Pricing with Discount Rules plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'Discount Text' input field. Due to inadequate sanitization and escaping, authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute when users view the injected pages, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The vulnerability affects multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity. There is no vendor-provided patch or advisory available at this time.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrator-level permissions can inject stored malicious scripts into the 'Discount Text' field. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially allowing limited disclosure or modification of information accessible to those users. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges and specific WordPress configurations (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled). No known exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the ParityPress plugin in multi-site or unfiltered_html-disabled environments. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
