Privileged-user script execution via unescaped themeName
Published Mar 13, 2025 · Updated Mar 14, 2025
Reflected XSS in Andrea Ferracani WoWPth 2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via a crafted themeName URL. The createTheme.php endpoint writes the themeName query parameter into a page without sanitization or context-appropriate output escaping. Exploitation requires a high-privilege user, such as an administrator, to follow the crafted link, after which the injected script executes in that user's browser.
