CVE-2024-7355: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpdevart Organization chart
The Organization chart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title_input’ and 'node_description' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. By default, this can only be exploited by administrators, but the ability to use and configure charts can be extended to subscribers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-7355 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the wpdevart Organization chart WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 1.5.0. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'title_input' and 'node_description' parameters, enabling authenticated users with low privileges to inject arbitrary scripts that execute when a user views the affected page. The vulnerability requires authentication with at least Subscriber-level access and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.9 (medium severity). No patch or vendor advisory indicating remediation is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Subscriber-level or higher privileges to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of other users. The vulnerability does not impact availability. Exploitation is constrained by the need for authentication and the plugin's configuration, limiting the attack surface.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict plugin usage to trusted users and limit Subscriber-level permissions where possible. Avoid granting chart configuration capabilities to low-privilege users. Monitor for plugin updates from wpdevart and apply them promptly once available.
