What is CVE-2024-13357?
The Ditty WordPress plugin, prior to version 3.1.52, is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. This issue arises from insufficient sanitization and escaping of settings, allowing high privilege users, like authors, to execute XSS attacks. This is particularly concerning in multisite WordPress installations where the unfiltered_html capability is typically restricted, exposing sites to potential exploitation.
Affected Version(s)
Ditty 0 < 3.1.52
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.
