CVE-2024-12122: ResAds WordPress Plugin Can Execute Malicious Scripts

CVE-2024-12122 · published 1 year ago

Summary

The ResAds plugin for WordPress is not properly filtering user input, which allows attackers to trick users into executing malicious scripts. This can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on a website. Update to version 2.0.7 or later to fix the issue.

Original advisory text

The ResAds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via multiple parameters in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
