Script execution via unescaped post_type reflection
Published Mar 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Reflected XSS in Jeremy Wilson Bulk Creator 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script via the post_type parameter. The plugin writes post_type from the request into its WordPress administration page without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open a crafted administration-page URL, and the script runs in that administrator’s browser context.
