What is CVE-2024-13127?

The LearnPress WordPress plugin prior to version 4.2.7.5.1 is vulnerable due to improper sanitization and escaping of certain settings. This oversight allows high privilege users, such as admins, to potentially exploit the vulnerability and execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as multisite setups. It is essential for administrators to update to the latest version to mitigate associated risks and ensure website security.

Affected Version(s)

LearnPress 0 < 4.2.7.5.1

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.
