CVE-2024-8802: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in cliogrow Clio Grow Form
The Clio Grow plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Clio Grow WordPress plugin suffers from a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to the use of add_query_arg without proper escaping of URL parameters. This flaw exists in all versions up to 1.0.2 and allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when a user clicks a crafted link. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. There is no vendor advisory or patch available at this time, and no known exploits have been observed.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling actions on behalf of the user. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. Since the attack requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link), the risk is moderated but still significant for targeted phishing or social engineering attacks.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should exercise caution with links related to the Clio Grow plugin and consider disabling or removing the plugin if possible. Monitoring vendor channels for updates is recommended. No official patch or temporary fix is currently documented.
