Published Sep 25, 2024 · Updated Sep 25, 2024
Stored XSS in TechnoWich WP ULike before 4.7.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts through crafted plugin settings. The settings page stores text-input and textarea values without sufficient sanitization or output escaping, then renders them as executable browser content. Administrator privileges and a victim who loads the injected page are required, and exposure is limited to multisite installations or sites where unfiltered_html is disabled.
