Administrator-level stored XSS via unescaped plugin settings
Published Jul 17, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored XSS in DWBooster Loading Page with Loading Screen before 1.0.83 allows remote authenticated users to inject script through plugin settings. The settings-handling path stores administrator-supplied values and renders them without output escaping, allowing embedded script to persist in generated pages. An administrator-level account and a victim viewing the affected output are required; the script executes in the victim’s browser despite unfiltered_html restrictions.
