CVE-2024-43244Network attack vector

Browser script execution via reflected input

Published Aug 18, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Reflected XSS in Favethemes Houzez 3.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts in a victim's browser via a crafted link. Houzez reflects attacker-controlled request input into an HTML response without sufficient neutralization; public records do not identify the affected parameter or code locus. Exploitation requires no account but does require a victim to open the crafted link, exposing that browser session to script actions in the site's origin.
