What is CVE-2024-12680?

The Prisna GWT WordPress plugin, prior to version 1.4.14, contains a vulnerability that allows high privilege users, including administrators, to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of certain settings, potentially compromising site security. This risk is significant in scenarios where the 'unfiltered_html' capability is specifically disallowed, such as in multisite installations.

Affected Version(s)

Prisna GWT 0 < 1.4.14

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
