CVE-2024-2500

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ColorMag theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.1.6

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a user's Display Name 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 For versions up to, and including, 3.1.6, update to a version later than 3.1.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting contributor-level access and above to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, avoid using the Display Name field in a way that could introduce malicious scripts until the issue is resolved.
