Stored XSS via forged settings update
Published Sep 17, 2024 · Updated Sep 17, 2024
Stored cross-site scripting in Vikinghammer Tweet 0.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through a forged settings request. An unspecified settings-update function omits nonce validation and stores untrusted values without sanitization or output escaping. Exploitation requires an administrator to act on an attacker-controlled request; the stored script then executes in browsers viewing an affected page.
