Administrator-level stored XSS via unescaped avatar setting
Published Apr 22, 2026 · Updated Apr 22, 2026
Stored XSS in mixer2 Buzz Comments 0 through 0.9.4 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via a crafted avatar setting. The settings handler stores buzz_comments_avatar_image without sufficient sanitization, and admin.tpl.php places the stored value into the Custom Buzz Avatar input without output escaping. Administrator-level access is required; the payload runs in the browser of anyone who opens the plugin settings page, enabling reads or changes within that session.
