CVE-2022-1707Network attack vector

Unauthenticated reflected script execution via unsanitized search parameter

Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Cross-site scripting in Google Tag Manager for WordPress 1.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted search parameter. The public/frontend.php code copies the s search parameter into the analytics data layer without sufficient sanitization or output escaping, reflecting attacker-controlled markup into rendered pages. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to induce a visitor to load a crafted search URL, allowing script execution in the site context with confidentiality and integrity impact but no reported availability impact.
