Administrator-browser script execution via forged requests
Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site scripting in BytesForAll Atahualpa 3.7.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts through forged requests. Several theme parameters store attacker-supplied script content without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping; published sources do not name the handlers. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to visit an attacker-controlled link or page; the script can steal the administrator's session token or perform actions through that browser session.
