CVE-2024-13578

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP-BibTeX plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'WpBibTeX' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. 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-BibTeX plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.0.1, update to a version later than 3.0.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the 'WpBibTeX' shortcode until a patch is available. Restrict access to pages that use the 'WpBibTeX' shortcode to minimize the risk of exploitation.
