CVE-2024-8189
Last modified
CVE-2024-8189 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The WP MultiTasking – WP Utilities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘wpmt_menu_name’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.17 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 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
