Editor-level stored XSS via unsanitized settings
Published Apr 17, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in JoomUnited WP File Download Light 1.3.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through settings. The plugin stores setting values without sufficient input sanitization and later renders them without adequate output escaping. Editor-level access is required, and the script executes when another user visits an affected page; exposure is limited to multisite or sites with unfiltered_html disabled.
