CVE-2024-33210: A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in Flatpress 1.3.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.67% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 51.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
