CVE-2024-11749

Summary

CVE-2024-11749 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the App Embed plugin for WordPress. The issue lies in the plugin's 'appizy' shortcode, which fails to adequately sanitize and escape user-supplied attributes. This weakness enables authenticated attackers, holding contributor-level access or higher, to inject malicious scripts. Subsequently, these scripts will execute whenever an unsuspecting user accesses an injected page, potentially compromising their data or exposing them to further attacks.
