CVE-2024-51763: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Team Showcase and Slider – Team Members Builder WordPress plugin contains a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.3. The vulnerability was discovered on October 24, 2024, and publicly disclosed on November 4, 2024. This security issue affects the plugin's web page generation functionality due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (WPScan, Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) and has received a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.1 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. The issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms in the plugin's code, which allows for the injection of malicious web scripts (Patchstack).

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that will execute when users perform specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. This could lead to the injection of malicious scripts, redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads that execute when guests visit the affected site (Patchstack).

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. However, Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate the issue by blocking potential attacks until an official fix becomes available. Website administrators are advised to implement the virtual patch immediately to protect their sites (Patchstack).
