This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":5.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/trunk/admin/class-profile-magic-admin.php#L2065","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/trunk/includes/class-profile-magic.php#L268","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3157510/","https://wordpress.org/plugins/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/#developers","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/2d3188c2-e5b0-4d83-8c92-ae6b409c92f9?source=cve"],"products":["metagauss:profilegrid"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:54:38.012257375+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-8861","score":0.00349,"percentile":0.286,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
