Summary
CVE-2024-12440 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Candifly plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in versions up to and including 1.0.6, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts. The shortcoming lies in the plugin's insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes within the 'candifly' shortcode. Consequently, any page containing an injected shortcode will execute the injected scripts each time a user visits it.
