Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

The Multi Post Carousel by Category plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'slides' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied 'slides' parameter in the post_slides_shortcode function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The Survey plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.Show less

The WPFAQBlock– FAQ & Accordion Plugin For Gutenberg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'class' parameter of the 'wpfaqblock' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The Logo Slider – Logo Carousel, Logo Showcase & Client Logo Slider Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the image alt text in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the 'logo-slider' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The WP-WebAuthn plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `wwa_auth` AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes logged by the plugin. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the plugin's log page, provided that the logging option is enabled in the plugin settings.Show less

The Scoreboard for HTML5 Games Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'scoreboard' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. The shortcode function sfhg_shortcode() allows arbitrary HTML attributes to be added to the rendered <iframe> element, with only a small blacklist of four attribute names (same_height_as, onload, onpageshow, onclick) being blocked. While the attribute names are passed through esc_html() and values through esc_attr(), this does not prevent injection of JavaScript event handler attributes like onfocus, onmouseover, onmouseenter, etc., because these attribute names and simple JavaScript payloads contain no characters that would be modified by these escaping functions. The shortcode text is stored in post_content and is only expanded to HTML at render time, after WordPress's kses filtering has already been applied to the raw post content. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The Keep Backup Daily plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the backup title alias (`val` parameter) in the `update_kbd_bkup_alias` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. While `sanitize_text_field()` strips HTML tags on save, it does not encode double quotes. The backup titles are output in HTML attribute contexts without `esc_attr()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts via attribute injection that will execute whenever another administrator views the backup list page.Show less

The iTracker360 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to and including 2.2.0. This is due to missing nonce verification on the settings form submission and insufficient input sanitization combined with missing output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.Show less

The Contact List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the '_cl_map_iframe' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.18. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when handling the Google Maps iframe custom field. The saveCustomFields() function in class-contact-list-custom-fields.php uses a regex to extract <iframe> tags from user input but does not validate or sanitize the iframe's attributes, allowing event handlers like 'onload' to be included. The extracted iframe HTML is stored via update_post_meta() and later rendered on the front-end in class-cl-public-card.php without any escaping or wp_kses filtering. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The Injection Guard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via malicious query parameter names in all versions up to and including 1.2.9. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the sanitize_ig_data() function which only sanitizes array values but not array keys, combined with missing output escaping in the ig_settings.php template where stored parameter keys are echoed directly into HTML. When a request is made to the site, the plugin captures the query string via $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], applies esc_url_raw() (which preserves URL-encoded special characters like %22, %3E, %3C), then passes it to parse_str() which URL-decodes the string, resulting in decoded HTML/JavaScript in the array keys. These keys are stored via update_option('ig_requests_log') and later rendered without esc_html() or esc_attr() on the admin log page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in the admin log page that execute whenever an administrator views the Injection Guard log interface.Show less

The Image Alt Text Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the post title in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when dynamically generating image alt and title attributes using a DOM parser. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.Show less

The Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the lazy-loading image processing in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.14. This is due to the use of an overly permissive regular expression in the `add_lazyload` function that replaces all occurrences of `\ssrc=` in image tags without limiting to the actual attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page by crafting an image tag where the `src` URL contains a space followed by `src=`, causing the regex to break the HTML structure and promote text inside attribute values into executable HTML attributes.Show less

The Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ao_post_preload' meta value in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.14. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the `ao_metabox_save()` function and missing output escaping when the value is rendered into a `<link>` tag in `autoptimizeImages.php`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, granted the "Image optimization" or "Lazy-load images" setting is enabled in the plugin configuration.Show less

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Versions prior to 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 have a potential stored XSS in topic titles for the solved posts stream. Versions 2026.3.0-latest.1, 2026.2.1, and 2026.1.2 contain a patch. As a workaround, ensure that the Content Security Policy is enabled, and has not been modified in a way which would make it more vulnerable to XSS attacks.Show less

NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a suite of open source Python modules, data sets, and tutorials supporting research and development in Natural Language Processing. In versions 3.9.3 and prior, `nltk.app.wordnet_app` contains a reflected cross-site scripting issue in the `lookup_...` route. A crafted `lookup_<payload>` URL can inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript into the response page because attacker-controlled `word` data is reflected into HTML without escaping. This impacts users running the local WordNet Browser server and can lead to script execution in the browser origin of that application. Commit 1c3f799607eeb088cab2491dcf806ae83c29ad8f fixes the issue.Show less

Avo is a framework to create admin panels for Ruby on Rails apps. Prior to version 3.30.3, a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the return_to query parameter used in the avo interface. An attacker can craft a malicious URL that injects arbitrary JavaScript, which is executed when he clicks a dynamically generated navigation button. This issue has been patched in version 3.30.3.Show less

Statamic is a Laravel and Git powered content management system (CMS). Prior to versions 5.73.14 and 6.7.0, a stored XSS vulnerability in SVG asset reuploads allows authenticated users with asset upload permissions to bypass SVG sanitization and inject malicious JavaScript that executes when the asset is viewed. This has been fixed in 5.73.14 and 6.7.0.Show less

PySpector is a static analysis security testing (SAST) Framework engineered for modern Python development workflows. PySpector versions 0.1.6 and prior are affected by a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the HTML report generator. When PySpector scans a Python file containing JavaScript payloads (i.e. inside a string passed to eval() ), the flagged code snippet is interpolated into the HTML report without sanitization. Opening the generated report in a browser causes the embedded JavaScript to execute in the browser's local file context. This issue has been patched in version 0.1.7.Show less

A security flaw has been discovered in atjiu pybbs 6.0.0. This impacts the function create of the file src/main/java/co/yiiu/pybbs/controller/api/CommentApiController.java. The manipulation results in cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.Show less
