CVE-2024-12100Network attack vector

Reflected XSS via unescaped transaction-page URL

Published Dec 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Reflected XSS in Alby Bitcoin Lightning Publisher for WordPress 1.4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts via crafted URLs. The transactions page passes a URL through add_query_arg and emits the result without appropriate escaping, allowing query-string input into the response. No authentication is required, but a user must follow an attacker-controlled link; successful exploitation runs script in that user's browser context.
