Stored XSS via unescaped administrator settings
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 17, 2025
Stored XSS in DL Verification 1.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to inject scripts through plugin settings. The settings handlers store administrator-supplied values without sanitization and render them into pages without output escaping. Exploitation requires administrator-level access and either WordPress multisite or disabled unfiltered_html; a victim must open an injected page, where the script runs in that user's browser.
