CVE-2024-9656: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in azexo Mynx Page Builder
The Mynx Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 0.27.8 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-2024-9656 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the azexo Mynx Page Builder WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 0.27.8. The issue occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape SVG file uploads, allowing authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to embed arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute when other users view the SVG files, potentially leading to script execution in the context of the victim's browser session. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the author level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts via SVG uploads. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the affected SVG files, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure within the context of the victim's session. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known active exploits reported.
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 uploads if possible. Monitor for plugin updates from azexo addressing this vulnerability.
