CVE-2024-9674: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in morceaudebois Debrandify · Remove or Replace WordPress Branding
The Debrandify · Remove or Replace WordPress Branding plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 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
The Debrandify WordPress plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, SVG files uploaded by users with Author-level or higher privileges are not properly sanitized or escaped, enabling injection of arbitrary web scripts. These scripts persist and execute in the context of users viewing the SVG, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.1.2. No vendor advisory or patch links have been provided, and the plugin is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Author-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts via SVG file uploads. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the SVG, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no impact on availability. The medium CVSS score reflects these limited but significant risks.
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 plugin updates closely for a security patch addressing this vulnerability.
