Stored XSS via unescaped header-derived IP addresses
Published Nov 27, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Stored XSS in Michele Marcucci WassUp Real Time Analytics 1.9.4.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts in admin browsers. The plugin stores an IP address taken from headers such as X-Forwarded-For and renders it without escaping on the SPY Visitors admin page. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open that page, where the injected script executes within the administrator's browser session.
