CVE-2024-11761

Summary

CVE-2024-11761 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the LegalWeb Cloud plugin for WordPress. This issue lies in the 'legalweb-popup' shortcode, where input sanitization and output escaping are inadequately implemented on user-supplied attributes. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or above can inject malicious scripts that will execute whenever a user visits an injected page. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, as it allows attackers to steal sensitive data or take control of user sessions. It is recommended that users immediately update to the latest version of the plugin to mitigate this risk.
