CVE-2024-0597 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Squirrly SEO plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 12.3.15. This flaw allows authenticated administrators to inject malicious web scripts into pages due to insufficient input sanitization, which then execute when other users view the compromised pages. The vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS score of 4.8 (Medium) indicates a moderate severity, requiring high privileges (administrator) and user interaction for successful exploitation. While the attack complexity is low, the potential impact is limited to low confidentiality and integrity. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB) is available. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, aligning with the typical low attention for most vulnerabilities.
