CVE-2024-12595

Summary

CVE-2024-12595 is a vulnerability affecting the AHAthat Plugin for WordPress. The issue lies in the plugin's failure to properly sanitize the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] parameter before outputting it back into an HTML attribute. This oversight can lead to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks in older web browsers, potentially allowing attackers to execute malicious scripts within the user's browser. By exploiting this vulnerability, adversaries could steal sensitive information, install malware, or launch further attacks on the affected website and its users. Upgrading to the latest version of the plugin is recommended to mitigate this risk.
