CVE-2024-7136: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Crocoblock JetSearch
The JetSearch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.2 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 JetSearch plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) via the 'id' parameter due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts that execute when other users access the compromised pages. This affects all versions up to 3.5.2. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity. No patch or vendor advisory is currently referenced.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'id' parameter. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the infected pages, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity of user data or site content. There is no reported impact on availability. The vulnerability could facilitate unauthorized actions or data theft within the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the JetSearch plugin. Monitor for updates from Crocoblock regarding patches or mitigations. Avoid exposing the vulnerable parameter in publicly accessible pages where possible.
