What is CVE-2024-9169?

The LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress is prone to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability stemming from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms. This issue permits authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts during the debug settings configuration. The injected scripts can execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the malicious payload. This vulnerability particularly impacts multi-site installations and systems where the 'unfiltered_html' capability has been disabled, making these environments especially susceptible to exploitation.
