CVE-2024-9704

Summary

CVE-2024-9704 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Social Sharing plugin for WordPress, up to version 1.3.7. This issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the 'dvk_social_sharing' shortcode. The consequence is that authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts which execute when a user visits an injected page. This poses a significant security risk, as it enables attackers to manipulate website content, steal user data, and potentially take control of the affected site.
