Stored XSS via unescaped plugin settings
Published May 30, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored cross-site scripting in Tom Braider No Future Posts 1.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run script in a victim's browser. The plugin writes administrator-supplied setting values, including Exclude posts IDs, back into its settings page without output escaping. An administrator-level account is required, unfiltered_html must be disabled, and a victim must load the stored payload; execution is limited to the victim's browser session.
