CVE-2024-0653

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Custom Field Template plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.6.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute when a user accesses an injected page. The issue affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered html has been disabled.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.6.1, update to a version that includes the necessary input sanitization and output escaping fixes to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting administrator-level permissions and access to admin settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
