CVE-2022-0147Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Script execution via unescaped admin-page attribute

Published Mar 14, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Reflected XSS in Cookie Information | Free GDPR Consent Solution before 2.0.8 allows remote attackers to run script via a crafted admin URL. The wp-gdpr-compliance admin page inserts the x query parameter into an HTML attribute without escaping it, allowing event-handler injection. No authentication is required to send the link, but an administrator must open it; the injected script then runs in the site's administrative origin.
