    Changed Description The Google CSE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled. Rejected reason: ** REJECT ** Accidental duplicate assignment of CVE-2024-4755. Please use CVE-2024-4755.

    Removed Translation Title: Google CSE para WordPress Description: El complemento Google CSE para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través de la configuración de administrador en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.7 incluida debido a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con permisos de nivel de administrador y superiores, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada. Esto solo afecta a las instalaciones multisitio y a las instalaciones en las que se ha deshabilitado unfiltered_html.
