CVE-2024-8722: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in Soflyy WP All Import Pro
The Import any XML or CSV File to WordPress PRO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP All Import Pro WordPress plugin suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, SVG file uploads are not properly sanitized or escaped, enabling authenticated administrators to inject malicious scripts. These scripts execute when the SVG file is accessed, potentially compromising user data or site integrity. The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2024-8722 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, indicating medium severity. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Administrator-level privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject and store malicious scripts via SVG file uploads. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the SVG files, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure limited to confidentiality and integrity impacts. Availability is not affected. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict SVG file uploads to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG uploads if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
