Administrator-level stored XSS via unsanitized task comments
Published Aug 29, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in task comments in Md Delower Hossain WP To Do 1.3.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run arbitrary scripts. The task-comment path in inc/Base/Model.php stores the Comment value without sufficient sanitization and later renders it without context-appropriate escaping. Exploitation requires administrator-level access and applies only to multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled.
