Reflected XSS via missing nonce validation
Published Sep 5, 2025 · Updated May 13, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in aakash1911 WP likes 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute reflected scripts in an admin's browser. The plugin accepts a forged administrative request without valid nonce verification and reflects attacker-controlled script content, but public records do not identify the affected function or parameter. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to open a malicious link or crafted page, after which the script runs in that user's browser context.
