What is CVE-2024-12800?

The IP Based Login WordPress plugin prior to version 2.4.1 lacks proper input sanitization during the import process. This oversight can be exploited by high privilege users, such as administrators, to conduct Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially in multisite configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted. Attackers can inject malicious scripts that may lead to unauthorized actions or data disclosure.

Affected Version(s)

IP Based Login 0 < 2.4.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
