Stored XSS via forged settings update
Published Aug 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2024
Stored XSS in the WP eMember settings page before 10.7.0 allows remote attackers to inject scripts through a forged request. The eMember_settings_menu page accepts a settings update without valid nonce verification and stores input without adequate sanitization or output escaping. A site administrator must be logged in and induced to submit the forged request; the stored script then executes in affected administrative browsing contexts.
