Administrator-session script execution via unescaped query values
Published Jan 31, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2026
Reflected XSS in Wael Hassan Privacy Policy Genius 2.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. The privacy_guru administration page reflects crafted tab and refresh query values into HTML without sanitization or context-appropriate escaping. No WordPress login is required to send the link, but exploitation requires a privileged user to open it; script then runs in that user's session.
