CVE-2024-12638Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unescaped status parameter

Published Jan 30, 2025 · Updated Jan 30, 2025

Reflected XSS in Ombu Bulk Me Now! 2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts in an administrator's browser. The bulkmenow-list administrative page reflects the status query parameter into its response without sanitization or output escaping. Successful exploitation requires a high-privilege user to open a crafted URL, after which the injected script runs in that user's WordPress origin.
