CVE-2023-36688

Stored XSS via unescaped tracking code input

Published Nov 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 29, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in I Do Web Work Simple Site Verify 1.0.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts. The plugin accepts verification and tracking codes on its settings page and inserts them into page headers without escaping the stored input. Administrator privileges are required to store the payload, and successful exploitation requires another user to load the affected page, where the script executes in that visitor's browser.
