Administrator-context script execution via unescaped qo parameter
Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 11, 2025
Reflected XSS in Stray Random Quotes 1.9.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts in an administrator's browser. The qo parameter on wp-admin/admin.php?page=stray_manage is returned into the page without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker to persuade a logged-in administrator to open a crafted link, enabling script execution in that privileged browser context.
