CVE-2024-2846Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unescaped selector

Published May 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Stored XSS in Visual Footer Credit Remover 1.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run scripts through a crafted selector. The plugin stores the selector without sufficient sanitization and later emits it into page output without escaping, causing a visitor's browser to execute injected script. Exploitation requires administrator access and affects only multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled, with script execution in the origin context.
