Unauthenticated stored XSS via unsafe HTML allowlist
Published Oct 17, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in SendPulse Free Web Push 1.3.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts that execute when visitors load affected pages. In settings.php, the plugin uses wp_kses_allowed_html incorrectly when filtering page output, leaving attacker-supplied script markup permitted. No authentication is required; execution occurs in a visitor's browser and can read or alter data available to the affected page.
