What is CVE-2024-6693?

The wccp-pro WordPress plugin versions prior to 15.3 suffer from a vulnerability that fails to adequately sanitize and escape certain settings. This oversight enables high privilege users, including administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. These attacks can occur even when the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, making it particularly dangerous in multisite configurations. Website administrators must take immediate action to review their plugin version and safeguard against potential exploitation.
