CVE-2024-1408

CVSS v3.1

6.4

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ProfilePress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.14.4
Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's edit-profile-text-box shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes such as type. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.14.4, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the edit-profile-text-box shortcode for users with contributor-level and above permissions until a patch is available.
