CVE-2024-9269: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in cconover Relogo
The Relogo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 0.4.2 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-2024-9269 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Relogo plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 0.4.2. The flaw allows authenticated users with Author-level privileges or above to upload SVG files containing malicious scripts that are not properly sanitized or escaped, leading to script execution in the context of users viewing those SVG files. This vulnerability can compromise confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Author-level access to inject and execute arbitrary web scripts in the context of other users accessing the SVG files. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of other users. There is no impact on system availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and does not involve user interaction beyond viewing the malicious SVG.
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 uploads if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor or security advisories addressing this issue.
