Summary
CVE-2024-12509 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Embed Twine plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 0.1.0, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin's 'embed_twine' shortcode. Consequently, injected pages will execute the malicious scripts whenever a user accesses them.
