CVE-2024-9589 - WordPress Category and Taxonomy Meta Fields Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

CVE ID : CVE-2024-9589
Published : Oct. 22, 2024, 8:15 a.m. | 1 hour, 34 minutes ago
Description : The Category and Taxonomy Meta Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'new_meta_name' parameter in the 'wpaft_option_page' function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
Severity: 5.5 | MEDIUM
