CVE-2024-9851: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in feedmymedia Tour Operator
The LSX Tour Operator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.9 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-2024-9851 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the LSX Tour Operator WordPress plugin by feedmymedia. The flaw exists in all versions up to and including 1.4.9 and allows authenticated users with Author-level or higher privileges to upload SVG files containing malicious scripts. Due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping during web page generation, these scripts execute in the context of users viewing the SVG files. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts via SVG file uploads. These scripts execute when other users access the SVG files, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of content within the affected site context. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. There are no reports of exploitation in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict Author-level and higher user permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling SVG uploads if possible. Monitor official feedmymedia communications for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
