What is CVE-2024-9521?

The SEO Manager plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with contributor-level permissions and above to exploit stored cross-site scripting. This vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary scripts into web pages.
