Since the vulnerability affects versions before 2.4.28, upgrading to version 2.4.28 or later (once available) is recommended. Until a fix is confirmed, restrict administrative access to trusted users and monitor plugin updates from the vendor.
Description
CVE-2024-3996 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Smart Post Show WordPress plugin versions before 2.4.28. The flaw arises because some plugin settings are not properly sanitized or escaped, allowing high-privilege users such as administrators to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability can be exploited even when the unfiltered_html capability is disabled, such as in multisite WordPress setups.
