Stored XSS via forged privileged requests
Published Nov 28, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in WP WOX Footer Flyout Widget 1.1 and earlier lets remote attackers store scripts via a forged web request. Neither the CNA record nor Patchstack identifies the affected handler or input, so the exact request-validation and output-encoding failure is undisclosed. Exploitation requires a privileged authenticated user to submit attacker-controlled content; the resulting script runs when the stored plugin output is rendered.
