Stored script execution via unescaped plugin settings
Published Jan 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025
Stored XSS in 1manfactory 404 to Start 1.6.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script via plugin settings. Plugin settings input boxes store attribute-breaking values and render them without sanitization or output escaping. Administrator access is required to save a payload; execution occurs when a user revisits the settings page and points at an injected field.
