CVE-2024-5280Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Reflected XSS via unsanitized date parameters

Published Jul 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Cross-site scripting in WP Affiliate Platform before 6.5.1 allows remote attackers to execute script through a forged member-report POST. The member-report form reflects the start_date and end_date POST parameters into its response without sanitization or output escaping. A victim must submit an attacker-controlled cross-site request, after which the injected script runs in the victim's browser context.
