CVE-2024-12697 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the real.Kit WordPress plugin (versions up to 5.1.1). The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently documented.

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or above to inject persistent malicious scripts into web pages. This can lead to client-side script execution in other users' browsers, potentially resulting in information disclosure or session compromise. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires authenticated access, limiting the attack surface.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider additional input validation or output escaping controls at the application or web server level to mitigate injection risks.
