Stored XSS via unsanitized Login text setting
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 20, 2025
Stored XSS in Freebiesdownload PVN Auth Popup 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via plugin settings. The Login text setting on wp-admin/admin.php?page=pvn_auth_popup stores input without sanitization and renders it without output escaping. Administrator access and a later page view are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-supplied script in the viewer's browser even when unfiltered_html is disabled.
