What is CVE-2024-11503?
The WP Tabs WordPress plugin, prior to version 2.2.7, fails to adequately sanitize and escape certain settings. This shortcoming enables high privilege users, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in scenarios where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, as is often the case in multisite installations.
Affected Version(s)
WP Tabs 0 < 2.2.7
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
