Administrator-level stored XSS via unsanitized settings
Published Oct 17, 2022 · Updated May 14, 2025
Stored XSS in Noah Hearle We’re Open! before 1.42 allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through plugin settings. The settings input handler stores nested option values without recursively sanitizing them or escaping them before page output. Administrator privileges are required, and the flaw remains reachable when unfiltered_html is disabled, including in multisite installations; injected scripts execute when a user opens an affected page.
