CVE-2024-9443: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in basticom Basticom Framework
The Basticom Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 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-2024-9443 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Basticom Framework WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.5.0. The flaw allows authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or above to upload SVG files containing malicious scripts. Due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of SVG content, these scripts execute in the context of users viewing the SVG, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.4, indicating a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the Author level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Author-level access to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the SVG files. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires user interaction (viewing the SVG). No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG file uploads if possible to reduce risk.
