Reflected XSS via unfiltered password-reset identifier
Published Jan 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025
Reflected XSS in Hamid Alinia OTP Login With Phone Number before 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted ID. The lwp_forgot_password() function in login-with-phonenumber.php inserts the ID parameter into a JSON-formatted response without filtering while serving it as text/html. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted unauthenticated AJAX URL, after which the payload runs in the victim's browser context.
