CVE-2024-5970 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the MaxGalleria plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 6.4.4. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject malicious web scripts into pages via the maxgallery_thumb shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.4) allows for client-side script execution, potentially leading to information disclosure or defacement, but does not require user interaction for exploitation once the page is accessed. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
