Browser code execution via abandoned S3 loader
Published Aug 14, 2025 · Updated Aug 14, 2025
Supply-chain compromise in Pixter Right Click Protect through 1.2 and Image License through 1.0 allows remote attackers to run JavaScript. Both plugins unconditionally load Loader/v3Loader.js from an abandoned pixter-loader-assets S3 bucket, placing executable page code under the bucket controller's authority. An affected plugin must be active and render its loader for a visitor; the observed payload displays security-service marketing, while the same control permits arbitrary browser-side actions.
