CVE-2024-11727
CVSS v3.1
4.4
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
NotificationX – Live Sales Notification, WooCommerce Sales Popup, FOMO, Social Proof, Announcement Banner & Floating Notification Top Bar plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.9.3
Description
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's content settings for notifications due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The issue only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled.
Recommendations
For versions up to, and including, 2.9.3, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's content settings for notifications to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, ensure that unfiltered html is enabled, if possible, to reduce the attack surface.
Fix
