CVE-2024-13571

Summary

CVE-2024-13571 is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability affecting the Post Timeline WordPress plugin before version 2.3.10. Malicious scripts can be injected into parameters, bypassing the plugin's input validation. This issue poses a significant threat, especially for high-privilege users like admins, as the vulnerable code does not sanitize or escape the input before outputting it back to the page. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or even complete site takeover. Users are advised to update their plugins to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
