What is CVE-2024-13633?

The Simple Catalogue WordPress plugin prior to version 1.0.3 is susceptible to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied parameters. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that are subsequently executed in the context of a user's session. Consequently, this could be exploited specifically against users with elevated privileges, such as administrators, potentially compromising sensitive data and site integrity.

Affected Version(s)

Simple catalogue 0 <= 1.0.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
