Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

A WordPress plugin used to redirect 404 pages can store unsafe input and later run it in a visitor's browser. This can expose users to page tampering or limited data theft if they interact with affected content.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate website integrity risk. Prioritize internet-facing WordPress sites and sites handling customer traffic, but it is not evidenced here as actively exploited or business-critical by default.

Technical view

CVE-2024-24889 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in Geek Code Lab All 404 Pages Redirect to Homepage through version 1.9. The CVSS vector indicates network access, low attack complexity, no privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, and low confidentiality and integrity impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running the All 404 Pages Redirect to Homepage plugin at version 1.9 or earlier.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or other cited evidence of active exploitation. Patchstack characterizes the issue as unauthenticated stored XSS, but exploit details are not provided here.

Researcher notes

Evidence supports CWE-79 stored XSS with PR:N and UI:R. The source bundle does not include root-cause code, vulnerable parameter details, proof-of-concept material, or confirmed fixed version, so validation should stay inventory- and behavior-focused.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory WordPress sites for the affected plugin and version.
  • Check vendor and Patchstack guidance for a fixed release or official mitigation.
  • Update the plugin if a remediated version is available from a trusted source.
  • Disable or remove the plugin where remediation cannot be confirmed.
  • Review affected sites for unexpected stored content or unauthorized changes.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether the plugin package all-404-pages-redirect-to-homepage is installed.
  • Record the installed plugin version and compare it with version 1.9 or earlier.
  • Review WordPress pages and plugin-managed content for unexpected script-like changes.
  • Check access logs for suspicious requests around 404 handling and plugin endpoints.
  • Verify user-facing pages render safely after updating, disabling, or removing the plugin.
