CVE-2024-0255 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 9.1.0. The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'wprm-recipe-text-share' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher permissions can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user data or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild have been documented at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'wprm-recipe-text-share' shortcode to reduce exposure. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches promptly once released.
