Overview
The Fuse Social Floating Sidebar plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-5226) that affects all versions up to and including 5.4.10. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on August 8, 2024 (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of SVG files in the file upload functionality. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.4 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (NVD).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update to a version newer than 5.4.10 when available. Until then, it is recommended to restrict file upload capabilities to trusted users only and implement additional validation for SVG files (NVD).
