Reflected XSS via unescaped request parameters
Published May 21, 2024 · Updated Mar 19, 2025
Reflected XSS in Sailthru Triggermail 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to run scripts in an administrator's browser. Various request parameters are returned into plugin-generated pages and HTML attributes without sanitization or context-appropriate escaping; public sources do not name the handlers or parameter names. Script execution requires a high-privilege user to follow a crafted link and can expose or alter data available to that browser session.
