CVE-2024-10848

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NewsMunch theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.0.35

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via a malicious 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, 1.0.35, update to a version later than 1.0.35 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the theme's display name feature to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only until the issue is resolved.
