The vulnerability was discovered by Dmitrii Ignatyev and was publicly disclosed on May 14, 2024. This security issue affects WordPress installations using the vulnerable plugin versions (WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient URL validation when adding iframes to WordPress pages.

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 2.4 (low) and is classified as a Content Injection type vulnerability under the OWASP Top 10 category A1: Injection and CWE-345 (WPScan).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to inject an iFrame into the page and load arbitrary content from any external source. This could potentially lead to the display of malicious or unauthorized content within the legitimate WordPress site (WPScan).

Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exploited by creating a new post, adding an e-Learning block with a zip file, selecting the 'Insert As: Iframe' option, and intercepting the POST request to modify the src attribute to point to an external URL. This allows the attacker to load content from any arbitrary source (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds

As of the current date, there is no known fix available for this vulnerability. Users of the affected plugin versions should consider implementing additional security measures or temporarily disabling the plugin until a patch is released (WPScan).
