Administrator stored XSS via unescaped API key
Published Apr 10, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025
Stored XSS in the Klaviyo WordPress plugin before 3.0.10 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via its Public API Key setting. The settings handler stores the Public API Key without sufficient sanitization, and the admin page renders it without adequate escaping. Administrator privileges and a site that disallows unfiltered_html, such as a multisite installation, are required; viewing the injected page triggers the script.
