Script execution via unescaped page parameter
Published Aug 16, 2023 · Updated Oct 8, 2024
Reflected XSS in the Tiempo.com WordPress plugin 0 through 0.1.2 allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted page parameter. The plugin writes the page query value into an administrative page without sanitization or context-appropriate output escaping. Exploitation requires an administrator or another high-privilege user to follow an attacker-controlled link, and the script runs in that user's browser context.
