CVE-2024-0609
CVE-2024-0609: Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WP ERP WordPress plugin. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into website pages. The WP ERP plugin, up to version 1.12.9, fails to properly sanitize input from the api_key parameter, leading to this vulnerability. While the CVSS score is 6.1, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 indicates a lower immediate threat level. However, successful exploitation of this XSS vulnerability can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. Websites using the WP ERP plugin should update to the latest version to mitigate the security risk. Unpatched systems are vulnerable to attackers injecting arbitrary web scripts. The significance lies in the potential compromise of user accounts and overall website integrity.
