Stored XSS via unchecked settings update
Published Jun 20, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored cross-site scripting in Avi Alkalay Inline Google Maps 5.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject script via a forged settings update. The plugin's settings update accepts requests without a CSRF check and stores values without sanitizing or escaping them. A logged-in administrator must be induced to submit the forged request; the resulting script executes when the stored setting is rendered.
