CVE-2022-4905Network attack vector

Stored browser script execution via unsanitized settings

Published Feb 13, 2023 · Updated Mar 20, 2025

Cross-site scripting in WP-Stateless 3.1.1 allows remote authenticated users to store script-bearing settings through the admin interface. The save_media_settings method writes values from the sm POST array to WordPress options without sanitizing each value, enabling injected markup during later rendering. A valid settings nonce and administrative settings access are required; successful exploitation executes script in the affected administrator's browser.
