CVE-2024-4755

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google CSE WordPress plugin versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.7

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example in multisite setups. This is due to the plugin not sanitizing and escaping some of its settings.

Recommendations For Google CSE WordPress plugin versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.7, update to a version later than 1.0.7 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the unfiltered html capability to minimize the risk of exploitation.
