Unauthenticated stored XSS via unescaped first_name
Published Aug 15, 2026 · Updated Aug 15, 2026
Stored XSS in Themefic Hydra Booking 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through the first_name field. HostsController stores the host profile's first_name value without sufficient sanitization, and archive-page-tfhb-host.php renders it without output escaping. Any visitor can self-assign the required tfhb_host role through the public Signup shortcode, and the stored script runs whenever a user opens the injected host page.
