Administrator-level stored XSS via unsanitized quote input
Published Aug 1, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Stored XSS in Flexi Quote Rotator 0.9.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through crafted quote input. The plugin stores new-quote content without sufficient sanitization and renders it without output escaping, causing browser-interpreted markup to persist. Administrator-level access is required, and exposure is limited to multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled; a visitor must open the injected page.
