Stored XSS via unescaped directory fields
Published Jan 14, 2026 · Updated Jan 14, 2026
Stored XSS in Jeroen Peters Name Directory 1.30.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through directory submissions. The public submission path accepts name_directory_name and name_directory_description values, stores them without sufficient sanitization, and renders them from admin.php and shortcode.php without contextual output escaping. No account is required; the script runs when a user views the affected directory entry, exposing that viewer’s browser context to attacker-controlled actions.
