Administrator-session script execution via reflected array key
Published Jun 19, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Reflected XSS in Super Socializer before 7.13.52 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser via a crafted URL. The the_champ_sharing_count AJAX handler returns an attacker-controlled urls array key without sanitizing or escaping it. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow the crafted request; script execution occurs in that administrator's WordPress origin.
