CVE-2024-11973 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Quran multilanguage Text & Audio WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.3.21. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'sourate' and 'lang' parameters, allowing injection of arbitrary web scripts. This vulnerability can be triggered by unauthenticated attackers who trick users into clicking malicious links, leading to script execution in the context of the affected site.

No patch or official remediation details are currently available.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the vulnerable website when a user clicks a crafted link.

The vulnerability does not require authentication but does require user interaction. No known exploits are reported in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations
