Stored script execution via unsanitized PDF fields
Published Feb 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in WPManageNinja Fluent PDF Generator 1.1.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via PDF template fields. Header, body, and footer values are stored without sufficient input sanitization and later rendered without context-appropriate output escaping. Form-creation access is required; administrators hold it by default, but delegated contributor-level access is sufficient, and the script executes when a user accesses the injected page.
