Stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Dec 16, 2024 · Updated Dec 16, 2024
Stored XSS in Tithe.ly Giving Button 1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through shortcode attributes. Shortcode rendering outputs the attacker-controlled amount attribute into button markup without validation or context-appropriate escaping. Contributor-level access is required to save the shortcode, and the script runs when another user views the page and interacts with the crafted button.
