CVE-2024-12520

Dominion – Domain Checker for WPBakery <= 2.3.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

6.4 Medium

The Dominion – Domain Checker for WPBakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'dominion_shortcodes_domain_search_6' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
