CVE-2024-12682

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Smart Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.5.2

Description The issue allows high privilege users, such as admins, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This is possible because the plugin does not properly sanitise and escape some of its settings. The attack can occur even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.5.2, update to version 1.5.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the ability of high privilege users to modify plugin settings until the update is applied.
