CVE-2024-1976Network attack vector

Stored cross-site scripting via forged settings request

Published Feb 29, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Active Internet Marketing Marketing Optimizer 20200925 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject stored JavaScript. The admin/main-settings-page.php settings handler accepts state-changing input without correctly validating a WordPress nonce, allowing attacker-controlled values to be saved. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to submit the forged request, after which the stored script executes when affected settings content is rendered.
