CVE-2024-12598

Summary

CVE-2024-12598 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the MyBookProgress plugin by Stormhill Media for WordPress. This issue, which exists in all versions up to 1.0.8, allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the ‘book’ parameter, resulting in arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever an injected page is accessed. Successful exploitation could lead to various attacks, such as stealing user data or taking control of the affected site. Users are advised to update to the latest version of the plugin to mitigate this risk.
