Admin-session script execution via unescaped query parameter
Published May 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Reflected XSS in Diana K. Cury Pet Manager 1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. The WordPress post editor reflects the cmb_send_label query parameter into a script context without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires a published pet record and an administrator to open a crafted wp-admin post-edit URL; successful script runs with that administrator's session privileges.
