CVE-2024-8103

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: WP Category Dropdown plugin for WordPress version 1.8 and earlier

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the align parameter 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 WP Category Dropdown plugin for WordPress version 1.8 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.8 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the align parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
