Administrator-session script execution via unescaped startdate
Published Aug 9, 2021 · Updated May 23, 2025
Reflected XSS in WP Fusion Lite 3.37.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts through a crafted startdate parameter. The logging table list places the request value into the WordPress administrator log-filter page without adequate output escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow a crafted link, after which the script runs in that administrator's browser context.
