CVE-2024-5578

Summary

CVE-2024-5578 is a vulnerability affecting the Table of Contents Plus WordPress plugin up to version 2408. This issue allows high privilege users, such as editors, to execute Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, bypassing the security measure that disallows unfiltered HTML. The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape certain settings, leaving them susceptible to malicious code injection. This can lead to unintended execution of malicious scripts in a user's browser, potentially compromising sensitive data. WordPress users are advised to update the plugin to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
