CVE-2024-1445

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Page scroll to id plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.8

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the plugin's shortcode(s). This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages, which will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.7.8, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's shortcode(s) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
