Administrator-browser script execution via unescaped URL parameter
Published May 30, 2023 · Updated Jan 10, 2025
Reflected XSS in PPOM before 32.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser via a crafted URL. The PPOM field-group edit page reflects an attacker-controlled URL parameter name into its response without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open the crafted wp-admin URL; the script then runs with that administrator's browser privileges.
