CVSS 3.1 Score 5.4 of 10 (medium)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-1775 is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Nextend Social Login and Register plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 3.1.12, stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the 'error_description' parameter. Unauthenticated attackers with access to a subscriber-level account can inject arbitrary web scripts, which execute when users perform specific actions like clicking on a link. While this vulnerability can potentially impact higher-level users through cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and social engineering techniques, successful exploitation requires the plugin's "Debug mode" to be enabled.
