CVE-2021-24365 is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Admin Columns WordPress plugin, both Free versions before 4.3.2 and Pro versions before 5.5.2. The flaw arises from a lack of escaping on user-supplied content within "Custom Field" column types, allowing malicious scripts to be injected. With a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), this vulnerability requires low privileges and user interaction (UI:R) for exploitation, potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L). There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
