Administrator-level stored XSS via unescaped language setting
Published Apr 17, 2026 · Updated Apr 17, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Jose Conti VideoZen 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts into plugin settings. The videozen_conf() function saves the lang POST parameter with update_option() without sanitization and later echoes it inside a textarea without esc_textarea() or equivalent output escaping. Administrator-level access is required to store the payload, which executes in the browser of any user who opens the affected settings page.
