Administrator-only stored XSS via unescaped application ID
Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2025
Stored XSS in Aklamator INfeed 2.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a crafted plugin setting. The plugin stores the Aklamator Application ID value without sanitizing it and renders it without output escaping on the settings page. Administrator privileges are required, and the script runs when the settings page reloads even where unfiltered_html is disabled, including multisite installations.
