CVE-2024-4869
CVE-2024-4869 — WP Cookie Consent ( for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy ) <= 3.2.0 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Client-IP header
The WP Cookie Consent ( for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy ) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘Client-IP’ header in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
