What is CVE-2024-0979?

The Dashboard Widgets Suite plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting all versions up to and including 3.4.3. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, enabling unauthenticated attackers to craft and inject arbitrary web scripts via the 'tab' parameter. If a user is tricked into clicking a malicious link, the injected script could be executed in the context of their session, compromising the integrity of the site and exposing sensitive information.
