Stored XSS via unsanitized venue address
Published Jul 30, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Stored XSS in ThemeBoy SportsPress before 2.7.22 allows remote authenticated users to inject script through a venue address. The venue editor accepts script markup in its Address field, saves it without effective sanitization, and later renders it in venue output. Administrator access is required to store the payload, and a subsequent visit executes it in the visitor's browser under the affected site's origin.
