Vulnerability Announcement: Stored Cross-Site Scripting in InfiniteWP Admin Panel (CVE-2024-22507)

Date of Announcement: September 29, 2025

Overview

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been discovered in the InfiniteWP Admin Panel, a widely used platform for managing WordPress websites. This vulnerability, identified as CVE-2024-22507, allows an attacker to inject and store malicious JavaScript code on the server, which is then executed in the browsers of unsuspecting users.

Vulnerability Details

CVE ID CVE-2024-22507
Vulnerability Type Stored Cross-Site Scripting (Stored XSS)
Affected Software InfiniteWP Admin Panel
Attack Vector A crafted GET request with a malicious payload in the HOST field of the FTPValues parameter.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted GET request to the server. The malicious JavaScript code is embedded within the HOST parameter of the application's settings. The server then stores this malicious code, and it is executed whenever a user accesses a page that displays the compromised data.

Impact

This Stored XSS vulnerability poses a significant risk to users of the InfiniteWP Admin Panel. Potential impacts include:

  • User Data Exposure: Attackers can steal sensitive user information, such as cookies, session tokens, and login credentials.
  • Website Defacement: The appearance of the website can be altered, damaging the site's reputation.
  • Phishing Attacks: Users can be tricked into revealing personal information or performing unauthorized actions.
  • Malware Distribution: The vulnerability can be used to distribute malware to the devices of unsuspecting users.

Recommendations

As of the date of this announcement, no official patch has been released by the vendor to address this vulnerability. We recommend the following measures to mitigate the risk:

  • Input Validation: Sanitize all user-supplied input to prevent the storage of malicious code.
  • Content Security Policy (CSP): Implement a strict CSP to control the sources of executable scripts.
  • Regular Monitoring: Continuously monitor the application for any signs of compromise.
