CVE-2024-2436

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Lightweight Accordion plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.5.16

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

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.5.16, update to a version higher than 1.5.16 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the plugin's shortcode(s) to minimize the risk of exploitation.
