Reflected XSS via unescaped request parameters
Published Sep 27, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Reflected XSS in Lasso Analytics Lasso Lite 117 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted request parameters. The plugin returns some request parameters in an HTML page without sanitizing or escaping them, causing attacker-controlled markup to execute in a visitor's browser. Exploitation requires a high-privilege user such as an administrator to open the crafted link, exposing that user's browser session to script-driven data access or actions.
