What is CVE-2024-5667?

Multiple plugins for WordPress are prone to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. This issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping for user-supplied attributes within the bundled Featherlight.js JavaScript library (versions 1.7.13 and 1.7.14). Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever users visit the compromised pages, posing a significant security risk.

Affected Version(s)

Responsive Lightbox & Gallery * <= 2.4.7

WP Featherlight – A Simple jQuery Lightbox * <= 1.3.4
