Authenticated script execution via unescaped tab parameter
Published Apr 5, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Clogica SEO Redirection Plugin – 301 Redirect Manager before 6.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute script. The settings page places the tab query parameter into an HTML attribute without proper sanitization, allowing a crafted value to add an event handler. An authenticated user must persuade another logged-in user to open the crafted wp-admin URL; the script then runs in that user's browser context.
