Unintended Injection of Arbitrary Web Scripts through Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in Easy Social Share Buttons

CVE-2024-8729

What is CVE-2024-8729?

The Easy Social Share Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add_query_arg without appropriate escaping on the URL in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
