CVE-2024-12585: PropertyHive < 2.1.1 - Cross-Site Scripting

id: CVE-2024-12585

info:
  name: PropertyHive < 2.1.1 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: Shivam Kamboj
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The Property Hive plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ph_message' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
  impact: |
    Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in the context of high privilege users, potentially leading to account compromise or data theft.
  remediation: |
    Update to version 2.1.1 or later where input sanitization and escaping are properly implemented.
