CVE-2024-35681Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unescaped user attributes

Published Jun 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Stored XSS in gVectors Team wpDiscuz 7.6.18 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through crafted attributes. The plugin insufficiently sanitizes user-supplied attributes and fails to escape them when rendering an injected page, causing the browser to run stored script content. Contributor-level access is required, and the script executes when another user opens the affected page, exposing that browser session to attacker-controlled actions.
