CVE-2024-5647

22th percentile - higher than 22% of all known CVEs

Multiple plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's bundled Magnific Popups library (version 1.1.0) in various versions due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. NOTE: This vulnerability was fixed in the upstream library (Magnific Popups version 1.2.0) by disabling the loading of HTML within certain fields by default.

An attacker can inject malicious scripts that execute in users' browsers, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or malware distribution.

It is recommended to update all WordPress plugins to versions that use Magnific Popups 1.2.0 or later, and to regularly update plugins and the WordPress core.
