Reflected XSS via unescaped request URI
Published Nov 12, 2024 · Updated Nov 12, 2024
Reflected XSS in AndroidBubbles RSS Feed Widget before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute script through a crafted URL. RSS Feed Widget inserts $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] into an HTML attribute without escaping, allowing an injected attribute break-out and script element. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to open the URL in an older browser that does not encode the malicious characters, exposing the administrator's browser session to script execution.
