Stored script execution via unescaped settings
Published Dec 19, 2022 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
Stored XSS in VMS Studio Quizlord 2.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through plugin settings. The plugin stores some settings without sanitizing input and renders them without escaping output; the published record does not identify the fields or functions. Administrator privileges are required, even where unfiltered_html is disabled, and a user must view the affected page for the script to execute in that user's browser.
