Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-53735 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the iPhone Webclip Manager (iphone-webclip-manager) WordPress plugin developed by corourke, impacting all versions from n/a through 0.5 inclusive.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, user interaction, changed scope, and low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit it by tricking users into performing actions that store malicious scripts, which then execute in the context of the affected site for other users.

Patchstack's advisory documents this as a CSRF-to-Stored XSS vulnerability in the iPhone Webclip Manager plugin version 0.5, available at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/iphone-webclip-manager/vulnerability/wordpress-iphone-webclip-manager-plugin-0-5-csrf-to-stored-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation and sanitization of all user-supplied input before it is stored or rendered, blocking the improper neutralization that enables stored XSS.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

Mandates filtering or encoding of information output in web responses, preventing stored malicious scripts from executing in victims' browsers.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match
prevent

Restricts acceptance, storage, and execution of mobile code (scripts) from untrusted sources, limiting the impact of CSRF-delivered XSS payloads in the plugin.
