CVE-2024-9777Network attack vector

Unauthenticated script execution via unescaped query URL

Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Reflected XSS in WP Royal Ashe 2.243 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through a crafted URL. The functions.php call sites place add_query_arg-generated URLs into page output without appropriate escaping, preserving attacker-controlled query data in HTML. No account is required, but execution requires a user to follow the attacker-controlled link.
