CVE-2024-11808: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in pingmeter Pingmeter Uptime Monitoring
The Pingmeter Uptime Monitoring plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the '_wpnonce' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
