CVE-2024-7918 – Pocket Widget <= 0.1.3 - Admin+ Stored XSS

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-7918

The Pocket Widget WordPress plugin through 0.1.3 does not sanitise and escape some of its 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). The Pocket Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled. • https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b1697646-1090-4a2b-9987-cec07428378e • CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') •
