CVE-2024-11901 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the PowerBI Embed Reports plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.7. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'MO_API_POWER_BI' shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no vendor patch or advisory is currently provided.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of page content. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. The impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity loss but no availability impact.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, limit contributor-level access to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the PowerBI Embed Reports plugin if possible to prevent exploitation. Monitor official channels for updates or patches from the plugin author.
