Summary

CVE-2024-6639 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the MDx theme for WordPress. The weakness lies in the 'mdx_list_item' shortcode, which does not properly sanitize and escape user-supplied attributes.

These scripts will execute each time an injected page is accessed, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and data theft.
