What is CVE-2024-12814?

The Loan Comparison Plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its 'loancomparison' shortcode in all versions up to and including 2.0. Due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping for attributes supplied by users, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or above can inject arbitrary scripts into the pages. This injected code can then execute whenever a user accesses the affected pages, potentially compromising user data and site integrity. Site administrators should take immediate action to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and enhance overall site security.

Affected Version(s)

Loan Comparison * <= 2.0
