WordPress · Cooked Pro · CVE-2024-37308
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
The Cooked Pro recipe plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.15.4
**Description**
The issue is related to Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the ` recipe settings[post title]` parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses a compromised page.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 1.7.15.4, update to version 1.8.0, which includes the patch for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ` recipe settings[post title]` parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
