Stored XSS via unescaped plugin settings
Published Aug 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 29, 2024
Stored XSS in Wow-Company Wow Viral Signups 2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via saved settings. The settings update page stores crafted text-input and textarea values without sanitizing them and later renders those values without escaping. Administrator privileges are required, and exploitation still works when unfiltered_html is disabled, including on multisite installations.
