CVE-2024-10177 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Beds24 Online Booking plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.0.27. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the beds24-link shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. This vulnerability can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and scope change.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the infected pages. This can lead to partial loss of confidentiality and integrity, such as theft of session tokens or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no impact on system availability. The vulnerability does not appear to be exploited in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Beds24 Online Booking plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
