Stored XSS via nonce-free settings update
Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Stored XSS in David Garcia Domain Sharding 1.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through forged settings requests. The plugin's settings-update function accepts administrator-session requests without validating a CSRF nonce and stores attacker-supplied script content. Exploitation requires an administrator to visit a crafted page or click a malicious link, after which the stored script executes in a visitor's browser.
