Last modified
CVE-2024-9169 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin debug settings in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
