What is CVE-2024-13679?

The Widget BUY.BOX plugin for WordPress is affected by a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability, specifically through the use of the 'buybox-widget' shortcode. This flaw arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts are executed when users visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and sensitive information theft.
