Script execution via unescaped filename reflection
Published Sep 10, 2021 · Updated May 2, 2025
Reflected XSS in AmazingWeb WP Design Maps & Places 1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted filename. The wpdmp-admin.php handler reflects the filename parameter into generated page output without context-appropriate escaping. Exploitation requires a victim to follow an attacker-crafted request; script execution occurs in the affected site's browser origin, enabling limited data access or actions as that victim.
