CVE-2024-12407: Push Notification for Post and BuddyPress <= 2.06 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Sat Jan 11 2025(Updated: )
The Push Notification for Post and BuddyPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pushnotificationid' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.06 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
