What is CVE-2024-13663?

The Coaching Staffs plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to exploit stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs through the plugin's 'mstw-cs-table' shortcode, which fails to adequately sanitize and escape user-supplied attributes. Consequently, attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses compromised pages, posing serious security risks.

Affected Version(s)
