Summary
CVE-2024-12816 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the NOTICE BOARD BY TOWKIR plugin for WordPress. This issue allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages via the plugin's 'notice-board' shortcode. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. Consequently, injected pages will execute the malicious scripts whenever a user accesses them.
