Last modified
CVE-2024-12203 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The RSS Icon Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘link_color’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. EPSS estimates a 0.33% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
