What is CVE-2024-8547?

The Simple Popup Plugin for WordPress is affected by a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's [popup] shortcode. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. As a result, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. The scripts are executed when users access the compromised pages, undermining the security and trustworthiness of the affected WordPress site.
