Browser script execution via unescaped generated URL
Published Sep 16, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Reflected XSS in RadiusTheme Classified Listing Pro before 2.0.20 allows remote attackers to execute script via a crafted request URL. The plugin inserts the generated request URL into an HTML attribute on an administrative page without escaping the attribute context. Exploitation requires a user to follow the crafted URL; the injected script then runs in that user's browser and can read or alter page data available to that session.
