CVE-2024-13876

Summary

CVE-2024-13876 is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the mEintopf WordPress plugin up to version 0.2.1. This issue stems from the plugin's failure to sanitize and escape a user-supplied parameter, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts that could be executed in the context of high privilege users, such as admins, when they view a specially crafted page. This could potentially lead to account takeover, data theft, or other unintended actions. Users of this plugin are advised to update to the latest version as soon as possible to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
