What is CVE-2024-13128?

The LearnPress plugin for WordPress, specifically versions prior to 4.2.7.5.1, contains a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain settings. This oversight allows high privilege users, such as administrators, to execute stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This is particularly concerning in environments where the 'unfiltered_html' capability is restricted, like in multisite setups, posing significant security risks to WordPress sites utilizing this plugin.

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.
