CVE-2024-5224

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 The Easy Social Like Box – Popup – Sidebar Widget plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.0
Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'cardoza facebook like box' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 4.0, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the 'cardoza facebook like box' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
