CVE-2024-1996 describes a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Premium Addons PRO plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.9.12. This flaw, due to insufficient input sanitization, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject malicious web scripts via the IHover widget link. When a user accesses an affected page, these scripts will execute, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), indicating a low attack complexity but requiring user interaction and authenticated access. While the potential impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity compromise, there is no known active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
