Admin-session script execution via unescaped tab parameter

Published Aug 16, 2023 · Updated Oct 8, 2024

Reflected XSS in 10Web Image Optimizer before 1.0.27 allows remote attackers to execute scripts through a crafted admin-page link. The plugin renders the iowd_tabs_active query parameter in its settings panel without sanitizing or escaping the value. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow the link, after which the script runs in the affected site's browser origin.
