Stored XSS via unescaped newsletter form fields
Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored XSS in Smaily for WP 3.1.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser. The basic newsletter form renderer outputs stored display-field values without escaping them for HTML. Exploitation requires low-privileged access to store a crafted value and a user to view the affected form, exposing that browser session to script execution.
