Authenticated script execution via unsanitized request URL
Published Mar 16, 2023 · Updated Mar 3, 2025
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Typecho 1.2.0 and earlier admin panel allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a crafted URL. Menu.php assigns the raw request URL to currentUrl, which the admin menu renders into an HTML href attribute without URL sanitization. An administrator must authenticate and open the crafted backend URL; the injected script runs in that browser under the Typecho origin.
