CVE-2024-12407Network attack vector

Browser script execution via unescaped notification identifier

Published Jan 11, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Reflected XSS in Push Notification for Post and BuddyPress 2.07 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts via a crafted link. The on-demand notification settings page outputs the pushnotificationid request parameter into HTML without sufficient sanitization or escaping. No authentication is required, but a user must follow an attacker-crafted link; the script then runs within that user's site origin and can access data or perform actions available to the session.
