id: CVE-2023-3169

info:
  name: tagDiv Composer < 4.2 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting
  author: ritikchaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    tagDiv Composer plugin versions before 4.2 for WordPress are vulnerable to unauthenticated stored XSS via the /wp-json/tdw/save_css endpoint. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code through the compiled_css parameter, which gets stored and executed when the CSS is loaded.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript through the compiled_css parameter which gets stored and executed when the CSS is loaded, potentially compromising all visitors to the WordPress site.
  remediation: |
    Update tagDiv Composer plugin to version 4.2 or later that properly validates and sanitizes CSS input from the save_css endpoint and requires authentication.
