Administrator stored XSS via unescaped button style
Published Dec 26, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Stored XSS in Login for Google Apps before 3.4.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through a crafted button-style setting. The Advanced Options handler stores the Login With Google Button Styles value without sanitizing it, and the login page renders that value without escaping. Administrator access is required, and a browser triggers the stored payload when a user visits the WordPress login interface, including on multisite sites without unfiltered_html.
