Administrator-context script execution via unescaped query parameters
Published Apr 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Reflected XSS in Front End Users 3.2.32 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. The WordPress administration options page inserts the DisplayPage, OrderBy, Order, and Page query parameters into HTML without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in high-privilege user to open a crafted admin URL, enabling script execution with that user's browser privileges.
