CVE-2022-0450Network attack vector

Subscriber-level stored XSS via unsanitized menu settings

Published Mar 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Stored cross-site scripting in Freshlight Lab Menu Image before 3.0.6 allows remote authenticated users to inject script into site menus. The menu-settings save path performs no authorization or CSRF check and stores fields without validation or sanitization, while frontend menu rendering fails to escape them. Subscriber access can write the payload; execution requires a visitor to load the affected menu and is limited to script actions available in that visitor's browser context.
