CVE-2024-9892

What is CVE-2024-9892?

The Add Widget After Content plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in its admin settings. This loophole enables authenticated users with administrator-level permissions to insert arbitrary web scripts into pages. When users visit the compromised pages, the injected scripts are executed. It's important to note that this vulnerability affects only multi-site installations and setups where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
