CVE-2024-13616

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.7.2

Description: The issue concerns the VikBooking Hotel Booking Engine & PMS WordPress plugin, where certain settings are not properly sanitized and escaped. This could allow high-privilege users, such as administrators, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. This issue is notable even in setups where the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, such as in multisite configurations.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.7.2, update to version 1.7.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting administrative access to trusted users only until the update can be applied.
