CVE-2024-8108: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in mihail-barinov Share This Image
The Share This Image plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'alignment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.01 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
CVE-2024-8108 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Share This Image WordPress plugin by mihail-barinov, affecting all versions up to 2.01. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'alignment' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to confidentiality and integrity impacts. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). No patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'alignment' parameter. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of content (confidentiality and integrity impacts). There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface to users with certain privileges.
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 replacing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation.
