CVE-2021-24988

The WP RSS Aggregator plugin before version 4.19.3 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in its System Info admin dashboard. The flaw exists because the wprss_dismiss_addon_notice AJAX action lacks proper authorization and CSRF protection, permitting any authenticated user including subscribers to execute it and inject malicious code through the addon parameter. The plugin fails to properly sanitize and escape this data before displaying it, allowing the stored XSS payload to execute when the dashboard is viewed.
