What is CVE-2024-13579?

The WP-Asambleas plugin for WordPress allows attackers with contributor-level access or higher to exploit a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability via the 'polls_popup' shortcode.

These scripts will execute on pages accessed by users, creating potential security risks for websites using this plugin version up to 2.85.0.
