CVE-2024-2872 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The socialdriver-framework WordPress plugin before 2024.04.30 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
