CVE-2024-56065
CVE-2024-56065: A Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Saleswonder.biz Team WP2LEADS plugin. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users. Specifically, versions up to 3.4.2 of WP2LEADS are affected due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. The CVSS score is 7.1, while the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 65, indicating a moderate risk that requires attention. Successful exploitation could lead to session hijacking, data theft, or defacement of the website. Although not critical based on the SVRS threshold of 80, mitigation steps are still recommended to prevent potential exploitation given the presence of "In The Wild" tag.
Description
CVE-2024-56065 is a Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Saleswonder.biz Team WP2LEADS plugin. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code into the website, which could be executed by unsuspecting users visiting the website. This could lead to various attacks, including data theft, account takeover, and malware distribution.
While the CVSS score is 7.1, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 38, indicating a moderate risk. This lower SVRS suggests that while the vulnerability is exploitable, there is currently no evidence of active exploitation or widespread malicious activity related to it.
Key Insights
- Impact: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers to steal sensitive information, hijack user accounts, and even compromise the entire website.
