CVE-2024-9064: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in namogo Elementor Inline SVG
The Elementor Inline SVG plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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
CVE-2024-9064 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Elementor Inline SVG WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2.0). It results from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) specifically via SVG file uploads. Authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or above can upload crafted SVG files containing malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing those files. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and scope change.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Author-level access to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts in the context of users accessing the SVG files. This can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity of user data or sessions within affected WordPress sites. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access, limiting exposure to users with elevated privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Elementor Inline SVG plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin maintainers to apply an official fix once available.
