Stored XSS via unescaped Live Search content
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Epsilon Web Manufactory WP Fast Total Search 1.59.211 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts. The WPFTS Live Search widget stores contributor-controlled content without sufficient input sanitization or output escaping, so scripts run when a visitor opens the injected page. Contributor-level access and a subsequent page visit are required; execution occurs in the visitor's browser with that session's privileges.
