CVE-2024-8861 Information

Description

The ProfileGrid – User Profiles Groups and Communities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 5.9.3.2 due to incorrect use of the wp_kses_allowed_html function which allows the ‘onclick’ attribute for certain HTML elements without sufficient restriction or context validation. 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.
