What is CVE-2024-13504?
The Frontend File Upload Form & Secure File Sharing plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs through dfxp file uploads due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. Attackers can exploit this flaw to inject malicious web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses the tainted dfxp file. It is important to note that this issue predominantly affects installations in Apache-based environments, where dfxp file handling is configured by default.
