Authenticated reflected XSS via unsanitized tab attribute
Published May 17, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Clogica All 404 Redirect to Homepage before 1.21 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a crafted tab value. The plugin settings page writes the unsanitized tab query parameter into an HTML attribute, enabling attribute breakout and event-handler injection. A low-privileged authenticated user must induce another user to open the crafted settings-page URL; exploitation runs script in that user's browser context.
