Script execution via unsanitized settings tab parameter
Published May 14, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Moove Agency Select All Categories and Taxonomies before 1.3.2 allows remote attackers to run script via a crafted tab parameter. The plugin's settings page writes the tab query value into HTML without sanitizing or context-appropriate escaping, causing injected event-handler markup to execute. Exploitation requires a user authorized to view that page to open the crafted URL, after which the script can act with the user's WordPress session privileges.
