Contributor-level stored XSS via unsanitized Author field
Published Jan 17, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Tobias Gafner quote-posttype-plugin 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via Author input. The plugin stores Author field content without sufficient input sanitization and renders it without adequate output escaping. Contributor-level access is required; the injected code runs in a visitor's browser when the affected page is viewed, exposing browser-accessible data and actions.
