WordPress · Keyword Meta Wordpress Plugin · CVE-2021-24611
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Keyword Meta WordPress plugin versions 3.0 and earlier
**Description**
The issue arises from the plugin's failure to sanitise or escape its settings before outputting them, leading to Cross-Site Scripting issues. Additionally, the lack of a CSRF check allows attackers to manipulate logged-in high-privilege users into saving arbitrary settings via a CSRF attack.
**Recommendations**
For versions 3.0 and earlier, update to a version that addresses the sanitisation and CSRF issues.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's settings page to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the plugin until a patched version is available.
