Stored XSS via unescaped API settings
Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024
Stored XSS in Generate Images (AI) – Magic Post Thumbnail before 5.2.8 allows remote authenticated users to run script in an administrator's browser. The plugin stores unsanitized values from five image-source API settings and renders them without output escaping on its administrative logs page. Administrator privileges are required to save a payload, and another administrator must open the logs page; exploitation remains possible when unfiltered_html is disabled.
