What is CVE-2024-12440?

The Candifly plugin for WordPress has a stored XSS vulnerability that affects all versions up to and including 1.0.6. This flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, specifically within the 'candifly' shortcode. As a result, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever users access the compromised pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and data exposure.

Affected Version(s)

Candifly * <= 1.0.6
