Script execution via reflected unsanitized input
Published Jun 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Reflected XSS in Robin Wilson bbp style pack 5.5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts through crafted requests. Published records do not identify the affected parameter or code locus, disclosing only that an HTTP response reflects attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires a user to open an attacker-crafted request, after which the script runs in that user's browser context and can read or alter data available to the session.
