Administrator-browser script execution via reflected login password
Published Jul 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Reflected XSS in WP eMember before 10.6.6 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser via login data. The member-login response returns the login_pwd parameter inside an HTML attribute without sanitization or output escaping, so injected focus-handler markup runs. A logged-in administrator must open attacker-controlled HTML that submits the login form; successful exploitation runs same-origin script against data and actions available in that browser session.
