CVE-2022-3892Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped Client ID

Published Dec 5, 2022 · Updated Apr 24, 2025

Stored XSS in Jayson T Cote WP OAuth Server before 4.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a crafted Client ID. The client-management interface stores the Client ID without sanitization and renders it without context-appropriate escaping in client list and edit views. Administrator-level access is required, and execution occurs when a user views the Clients list or edits the malicious client, exposing that browser session to script-driven data access or actions.
