Stored XSS via unescaped Answer Redirection setting
Published Mar 16, 2025 · Updated Mar 17, 2025
Stored XSS in AYS Pro Poll Maker before 5.5.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute script through a poll setting. The Answer Redirection field under Options Settings stores administrator-supplied markup without sanitizing or escaping it, then embeds the value in the reloaded page. Administrator-level access is required, and the stored payload executes in a browser when the affected poll page reloads, including on multisite installations that deny unfiltered_html.
