CVE-2024-13563 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Front End Users WordPress plugin by rustaurius, affecting all versions up to 3.2.30. The flaw exists in the forgot-password shortcode due to improper neutralization of input, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute when other users access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting medium severity with network attack vector and low complexity. No patch or official fix information is currently provided.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user session data or manipulation of page content. There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the forgot-password shortcode in the Front End Users plugin. Monitor official rustaurius communications for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
