What is CVE-2024-8989?

The Free Responsive Testimonials plugin for WordPress is subject to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes through the stars_testimonials shortcode. This flaw impacts all versions leading up to and including 3.3.1. Authenticated users with contributor-level access can exploit this vulnerability, allowing them to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. When these pages are accessed by other users, the injected scripts execute, potentially compromising user data and site integrity.
