Stored XSS via unauthenticated settings write
Published Jun 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in WPShopMart Coming Soon Page & Maintenance Mode before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to inject scripts into site pages. The data-save-post.php script serializes arbitrary POST settings without authorization, a nonce, or sanitization, and template1/index.php echoes six affected values without escaping. No authentication is required; injected code runs when any user opens the affected front-end page and can act within that user's site session.
