Admin-context script execution via logged IP headers
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 17, 2025
Stored XSS in WebToffee GDPR Cookie Consent before 2.6.1 allows remote attackers to inject scripts through crafted IP headers. The consent logger stores Client-Ip header content without adequate sanitization or output escaping and renders it in the Consent report. Exploitation requires an administrator to open that report, where the script runs in the administrator's browser context.
