CVE-2024-2306:
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Revslider plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-2306) that affects all versions up to and including 6.6.20. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed by Wordfence, with the initial public disclosure on April 9, 2024 (NVD CVE).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping specifically related to SVG file uploads. This allows authenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an affected page. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (Wordfence Intel).
Impact
When exploited, the vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious web scripts that execute in users' browsers when they access an affected page. While by default this can only be exploited by administrators, the risk is elevated because the ability to use and configure Revslider can be extended to authors (NVD CVE).
Mitigation and workarounds
The primary mitigation is to update to a version newer than 6.6.20. This can be verified through the official changelog (Slider Revolution).
