Stored XSS via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Review Rights WP HTML Page Sitemap 2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to store scripts via forged settings updates. An unnamed settings-update function lacks correct WordPress nonce validation and accepts script-bearing values from the forged request. Exploitation requires a site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link or perform an equivalent action, after which the stored script executes when affected content is rendered.
