Published Sep 5, 2026 · Updated Sep 6, 2026
Stored XSS in WPJoli Joli Table Of Contents 2.0.0 through 2.8.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript. The General settings handler stores the headings_overflow value and writes it into an HTML attribute without output escaping. Administrator privileges and a later visit to the plugin settings page are required; the script runs in the visiting administrator's browser even when unfiltered_html is disabled.
