Stored script execution via unsanitized request path
Published Jun 24, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
Stored XSS in ice00 NewStatPress 1.2.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser via a crafted request path. The plugin records attacker-controlled request-path content and later renders it without neutralizing embedded script markup. Execution requires a user to view the affected statistics content, and the script runs with that page's browser privileges.
