What is CVE-2024-13621?

The GDPR Framework plugin by Data443 prior to version 2.2.0 has a critical flaw in how it handles certain settings, leading to the potential for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. High privilege users, including administrators, may exploit this vulnerability even in environments where unfiltered HTML is restricted, such as multisite setups. By failing to properly sanitize and escape these settings, the plugin opens up pathways for malicious scripts to be inserted, posing a severe risk to the integrity of WordPress sites.
