Unknown · Smart Maintenance Mode · CVE-2024-12683
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Smart Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.5.2
**Description**
The issue concerns the Smart Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitise and escape some of its settings. This could allow high-privilege users, such as administrators, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.5.2, update to version 1.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
