Browser script execution via unescaped AJAX parameter
Published Apr 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Rajat Varlani Super Socializer before 7.13.30 allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted AJAX request. The the_champ_sharing_count AJAX action returns the unsanitized urls parameter in its response without context-appropriate escaping. A victim must open the crafted request; the script then runs in the site origin and can read or modify data available to that browser session.
