Stored script execution via unsanitized settings
Published Dec 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in WP User - Custom Registration Forms, Login and User Profile 7.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts. The affected settings path stores parameter values without sufficient input sanitization and later renders them without adequate output escaping. Administrator-level access is required, and exploitation is limited to multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled; injected scripts execute when a user visits an affected page.
