CVE-2024-41816 is a Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Cooked recipe plugin for WordPress, versions 1.8.0 and earlier. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access can inject malicious web scripts through the '[cooked-timer]' shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 5.4) allows scripts to execute when a user visits a compromised page, potentially leading to information disclosure or defacement. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and the issue is resolved in Cooked version 1.8.1.
