CVE-2025-2577: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in bitspecter Bitspecter Suite
The Bitspecter Suite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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
The Bitspecter Suite plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, SVG file uploads are not properly sanitized or escaped, enabling authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or higher to embed malicious scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the SVG, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.0.0 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level access or higher can upload crafted SVG files containing malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view these files. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user data or session tokens. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and does not involve user interaction beyond viewing the SVG.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. As a temporary mitigation, restrict Author-level users from uploading SVG files or disable SVG uploads entirely if possible. Additionally, review and limit user privileges to reduce the risk of exploitation.
