CVE-2024-10623

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ForumEngine theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.8

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via a URL due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.8, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting user interactions with potentially malicious links to minimize the risk of exploitation.
