Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wordpress, a popular content management framework.
CVE-2024-6307
WordPress Core is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting via the HTML API due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on URLs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
CVE-2024-31111
Improper neutralization of input during web gage generation (XSS or Cross-site Scripting) vulnerability in Automattic WordPress allows Stored XSS.
CVE-2025-58246
Insertion of sensitive information into sent data vulnerability in WordPress allows retrieval of embedded sensitive data.
CVE-2025-58674
Improper neutralization of input during web page generation (Cross-site Scripting) vulnerability in WordPress allows Stored XSS.
