Contributor-level stored XSS via shortcode attributes
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in SoftLab Dracula Dark Mode 1.0.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through shortcode attributes. The shortcode renderer fails to sanitize user-supplied attributes or escape them before inserting them into page output. Contributor-level access is required to store a payload, and the script executes when another user visits the injected page.
