Vulnerabilities
- Medium 5.4
CVE-2024-24930login required≤ 1.16
WordPress Buttons Shortcode and Widget Plugin <= 1.16 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
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).
