CVE-2024-34424
CVE-2024-34424: Stored XSS vulnerability in iePlexus Featured Content Gallery. This flaw allows for Cross-Site Scripting attacks due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, affecting versions up to 3.2.0. Although the CVSS score is 0, indicating minimal immediate technical impact according to that system, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 30. The SVRS considers a broader range of factors. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. When unsuspecting users visit these pages, the scripts execute, potentially leading to account compromise. This vulnerability is significant because it can be exploited to steal sensitive information. Immediate patching is recommended to prevent potential attacks.
