CVE-2024-9591 Description

The Category and Taxonomy Image plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the \'_category_image\' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
