Script execution via unescaped filter-link URLs
Published Jun 17, 2026 · Updated Jun 17, 2026
Reflected XSS in AYS Pro Popup Box 6.2.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script through crafted admin-page links. The ays-pb-categories and ays-pb-popups list tables insert the s search parameter into single-quoted filter-link href attributes without escaping. Exploitation requires a privileged user to open the crafted link; the script then runs in that user's WordPress browser context.
