Last modified
CVE-2024-12069 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Lexicata plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.16. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action, such as clicking on a specially crafted link.. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
