CVE-2024-2189
Last modified
CVE-2024-2189 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Social Icons Widget & Block by WPZOOM WordPress plugin before 4.2.18 does not sanitise and escape some of its Widget settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.39% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
