Stored XSS via unprotected settings update
Published Jul 30, 2024 · Updated Oct 28, 2024
Stored XSS in Send Email Only on Reply to My Comment 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject script via a forged settings request. The options handler accepts the manager_page_title setting without CSRF validation or sanitization and later renders the stored value without escaping. An administrator must open attacker-controlled HTML that submits the form; the script executes when the comment management screen is viewed.
