WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Zenon Lite theme for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-5964) via the 'url' parameter within the theme's Button shortcode in versions up to and including 1.9. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (NVD).
Technical details
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. The issue exists in the Button shortcode implementation where the 'url' parameter is not properly sanitized or escaped before being output (Wordfence).
Impact
The 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 the Zenon Lite theme to a version newer than 1.9 if available. If an update is not possible, consider restricting access to content creation and editing capabilities to trusted users only (NVD).
