Overview

The vulnerability CVE-2022-3853 affects the WordPress plugin Supra CSV version 4.0.3 and earlier versions. It was discovered by Rahul Selvakumar and publicly disclosed on December 5, 2022. The vulnerability combines a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack vector with Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that persist in the application (WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in the plugin's settings page where the parameter 'scsv_defaultdesc=' is susceptible to XSS attacks. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 6.1 (medium severity) and is classified under CWE-79 (Cross-site Scripting) and CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery). The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a specially crafted CSRF payload that includes malicious JavaScript code (WPScan).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute malicious scripts in the victim's web browser context. Since it's a stored XSS vulnerability, the malicious code persists in the application and executes whenever a user accesses the affected page, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of the web interface (WPScan).
