CVE-2024-44044

CVE-2024-44044 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, affecting the Oshine Modules WordPress plugin developed by brandexponents. The issue impacts all versions of Oshine Modules from n/a through those prior to 3.3.8. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (High), with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L.

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over the network with low complexity, requiring user interaction such as clicking a malicious link. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser context due to reflected input not being properly neutralized during web page generation. This leads to low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, but with a changed scope that may affect other users or resources.

Patchstack advisories indicate that the vulnerability is addressed in Oshine Modules version 3.3.8, recommending immediate updates to this or later versions for mitigation.
