Stored XSS via unsanitized admin settings
Published Mar 12, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in gpenverne BlogBuzzTime for WP 1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to inject scripts. The plugin accepts admin-setting values without sufficient sanitization and later renders them without adequate output escaping. The flaw is reachable only on multisite installations or sites with unfiltered_html disabled, and injected code runs when a user opens an affected page.
