CVE-2024-9165: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in codemenschen Gift Cards (Gift Vouchers and Packages) (WooCommerce Supported)
The Gift Cards (Gift Vouchers and Packages) (WooCommerce Supported) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.4 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-2024-9165 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the codemenschen Gift Cards (Gift Vouchers and Packages) plugin for WordPress (WooCommerce Supported). The issue occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically through SVG file uploads. Authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or higher can upload crafted SVG files containing malicious scripts. These scripts execute when any user accesses the SVG file, potentially leading to script execution in the context of the affected site. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.4.4. 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), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts via SVG file uploads. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in users' browsers when they access the SVG files, potentially compromising user sessions or performing actions on behalf of users. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires authenticated access with specific privileges, reducing the attack surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities.
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 user permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG file uploads if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
