CVE-2024-13630Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Administrator-session script execution via unescaped query parameter

Published Feb 26, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2025

Reflected XSS in Mahinsha NewsTicker 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. The update_news administration page returns the news_ticker_id query parameter in HTML without sanitization or context-appropriate escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open a crafted link, after which the injected script runs with that user's WordPress-origin privileges.
