Privilege escalation via reflected page parameter XSS

Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026

The admin/index.php route places the untrusted page query parameter into web-page output without neutralizing executable content. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted request; the injected script then runs in that user's browser session and can perform privileged actions.
