Summary

CVE-2024-12045 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Essential Blocks – Page Builder plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 5.0.9, can be exploited by authenticated attackers with administrator-level access. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the plugin's Google Maps block, which allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. It's essential to note that this vulnerability only impacts multi-site installations and those where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
