Reflected XSS via unescaped date parameters
Published Aug 31, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected XSS in Rustaurius Order Tracking Pro 3.3.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts via crafted date parameters. The affected request handling reads the start_date and end_date parameters without sufficient sanitization and returns their values in an HTML response without output escaping. A victim must follow an attacker-crafted link, after which the injected script runs in the victim’s browser context and can act as that user on the affected site.
