Stored XSS via nonce-free settings update
Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Hello In All Languages 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject stored scripts via forged requests. The plugin's settings-update function accepts administrator-triggered requests without valid nonce verification and persists attacker-controlled settings. Exploitation requires a site administrator to open the attacker's link; the saved script then executes in affected pages.
