Published Feb 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Black and White BookPress – For Book Authors 1.2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to store XSS payloads. Patchstack has not disclosed the affected request handler, input field, or missing request-validation operation that permits the write. Successful exploitation requires a privileged authenticated user to visit a crafted page or submit a malicious form, after which stored script content executes in the affected site's security context.
