CVE-2024-9119: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in automatic-rock SVG Complete
The SVG Complete plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2 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-2024-9119 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the automatic-rock SVG Complete WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 1.0.2. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of SVG file uploads. Authenticated users with Author-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into SVG files, which execute when the files are viewed by others. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts without affecting availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with Author-level privileges or higher to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of users viewing the SVG files. This can lead to partial compromise of user data confidentiality and integrity. There is no impact on system availability reported. No known exploits are currently active in the wild.
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 SVG file uploads if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
