Reflected script execution via unescaped request URI
Published Jul 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Reflected cross-site scripting in WP eMember before 10.6.7 allows remote authenticated users to execute script via a crafted request URI. The plugin writes $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] into an HTML attribute without output escaping, allowing attribute breakout and injected script. Exploitation requires a low-privileged session, a victim to follow a crafted link, and an older browser; injected script runs in the site's origin.
