Stored XSS via unsanitized custom channel link
Published Jul 24, 2023 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Stored XSS in Premio My Sticky Elements before 2.1.2 allows remote authenticated users to inject script through a channel link setting. The plugin stores a javascript URL from the custom-channel Link field without sufficient sanitization or output escaping, then emits it into the public-facing element. Administrator access is required, and script execution additionally requires a visitor to click the crafted link.
