Vulnerabilities
- Medium 6.4
CVE-2024-2304contributor+≤ 4.0
Animated Headline <= 4.0 - Authenticated(Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
The access label is read from the record's own text (e.g. “subscriber+”: subscriber and above). When the text names no role, CVSS decides between “login required” and “high privilege”; no role name is invented. “Needs a click”: the attack depends on a logged-in user following a link (CSRF, reflected XSS).
