CVE-2024-12452: Ziggeo <= 3.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
First published: Fri Feb 21 2025(Updated: )
The Ziggeo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'ziggeo_event' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
