Unauthenticated reflected XSS via code parameter
Published May 10, 2023 · Updated Jan 27, 2025
Cross-site scripting in Amelia before 1.0.76 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary script via a crafted URL visited by a WordPress user. The code parameter is insufficiently sanitized and output-escaped, so reflected payloads execute in the visiting user's browser. Exploitation requires a victim to access the malicious URL; the documented impact is script execution with potential data disclosure or page manipulation, not server-side code execution.
