CVE-2024-10518: ProfilePress < 4.15.15 - Admin+ Stored XSS
First published: Thu Dec 12 2024(Updated: )
The Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile & Restrict Content WordPress plugin before 4.15.15 does not sanitise and escape some of its Membership Plan settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
