Plugin Vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting

CVE-2024-8505

What is CVE-2024-8505?

The Infinite Scroll – Ajax Load More plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to exploit the ‘button_label’ parameter. This flaw arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into web page content. When a user accesses these compromised pages, the injected scripts execute, potentially compromising user information and site integrity. All versions up to and including 7.1.2 are affected, highlighting the importance of updating to the latest version to mitigate these risks.
