DOM-based XSS via BBCode processing

Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Sep 22, 2025

DOM-based XSS in Milan Petrovic GD bbPress Tools 3.5.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run scripts via forum content. Published materials identify BBCode processing in the plugin JavaScript as the locus but do not disclose the unsafe DOM operation or input path. Contributor or Developer access is required, and exploitation executes attacker-controlled script only after a privileged user interacts with crafted content.
