CVE-2024-2963 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Pocket News Generator plugin for WordPress. This issue, present in all versions up to 0.2.0, arises due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the plugin's admin settings. Authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious scripts into fields like "Consumer Key" and "Access Token."
