Reflected XSS via unescaped remove_query_arg URL
Published Sep 26, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Reflected XSS in Mad Fish Digital Bulk NoIndex & NoFollow Toolkit 2.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts via crafted URLs. In bulk-noindex-toolkit-class.php, a URL built with remove_query_arg is written into page output without context-appropriate escaping, reflecting query content as executable markup. Execution requires a user to follow the attacker's link; the script then runs in that user's browser context and can read or alter data available to the page.
