Browser script execution via unescaped request parameter
Published Nov 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Reflected XSS in html5maps Interactive World Map 3.2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts through crafted requests. Public sources identify an unknown request parameter whose value is emitted into generated page output without sufficient sanitization or escaping; no file or function has been disclosed. Exploitation requires a visitor to follow a malicious link or otherwise submit the crafted request, after which script runs in that visitor's browser context.
