WordPress · Simple Tweet · CVE-2024-0700
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Simple Tweet plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4.0.2
**Description**
The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the `Tweet this text` value. This allows authenticated attackers with author-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 1.4.0.2, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `Tweet this text` value to minimize the risk of exploitation.
