CVE-2024-9452: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in lolitaframework Branding
The Branding plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 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-2024-9452 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the lolitaframework Branding WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.0. The issue occurs due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically via SVG file uploads.

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (medium severity). No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Author-level access or above to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users accessing the SVG files.
