Reflected XSS via unescaped cache-manager parameters
Published Mar 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in Popozure Pz-LinkCard 2.4.4.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted admin-page URLs. The cache-management handlers reflect the keyword and extraction query parameters into tools.php output without sanitization or context-appropriate escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open a crafted dashboard URL, after which attacker-controlled script runs in that administrator's browser.
