Reflected script execution via unescaped query parameters
Published Sep 19, 2026 · Updated Sep 19, 2026
Reflected XSS in Themeum Tutor LMS 4.0.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted search or back_url parameters. Dashboard, account, and course-search rendering paths read those request values and place them into HTML without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. No authentication is required, but a user must follow a crafted link; successful execution runs attacker-controlled script in that user's browser context.
