CVE-2024-11385 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Pure CSS Circle Progress bar WordPress plugin by safi-mohammad. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79) in the 'circle_progress' shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. This occurs because user-supplied attributes are not properly sanitized or escaped before output. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.2. Exploitation requires at least contributor-level privileges and results in script execution in the context of users viewing the injected page.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires user interaction (page visit) for script execution. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required for the victim.

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Pure CSS Circle Progress bar plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
