Administrator-session script execution via unescaped URL parameter
Published Jul 17, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Reflected XSS in GrandSlambert Login Configurator 2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted admin URL. The plugin's administrative options page outputs a request-supplied URL parameter without context-appropriate escaping. Exploitation requires an administrator to follow the crafted URL, after which the script runs with that administrator's WordPress session privileges.
