CVE-2024-6767: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sersis WordSurvey
The WordSurvey plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘sounding_title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WordSurvey plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'sounding_title' parameter in versions up to 3.2. This vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. The issue specifically affects multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, enabling script execution in users' browsers when they visit the compromised pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access on affected WordSurvey plugin installations can inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'sounding_title' parameter. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure limited to confidentiality and integrity impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability. It is limited to multi-site WordPress setups or installations where unfiltered_html is disabled.
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 or limiting the use of the WordSurvey plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
