What is CVE-2024-2948?

The Favorites plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue arises from inadequate sanitization of user input and improper escaping of output, particularly in the plugin's 'user_favorites' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages. This injected code executes whenever a user accesses impacted pages, posing significant security risks to site visitors and highlighting the importance of input validation in web applications.
