CVE-2024-11755

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IMS Countdown plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.4

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Countdown post settings due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations Update to the latest version to mitigate risks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Countdown post settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
