What is CVE-2024-9462?

The Poll Maker plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in its poll settings. This vulnerability permits authenticated users with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts into web pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page. It primarily affects multi-site installations, particularly in environments where the unfiltered_html feature is disabled, posing significant security risks to website users.
