Reflected XSS via unescaped editrecord parameter
Published Jul 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Reflected XSS in Tips and Tricks HQ WP eStore before 8.5.5 allows remote attackers to execute script in an administrator's browser. The category-editing admin page writes the editrecord query parameter into its response without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires a logged-in high-privilege user to open a crafted URL, allowing script execution in that user's WordPress session.
