CVE-2024-2189

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Social Icons Widget & Block by WPZOOM versions prior to 4.2.18

Description The issue concerns the lack of sanitization and escaping of some widget settings in the plugin, which could allow high-privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.2.18, upgrade to version 4.2.18 or later to mitigate the risk of Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the widget settings to minimize the risk of exploitation.
