CVE-2024-11760

Summary

CVE-2024-11760 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Currency Converter Widget ⚡ PRO plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 1.0.6, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into the plugin's 'currency-converter-widget-pro' shortcode. As a result, these scripts will execute whenever an end user accesses an injected page, potentially leading to unintended functionality, data theft, or other security risks. The root cause lies in insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin.
