CVE-2025-13308
Application Passwords <= 0.1.3 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via reject_url
Description
The Application Passwords plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'reject_url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied URLs, which allows javascript: URI schemes to be embedded in the reject_url parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user clicks the "No, I do not approve of this connection" button, granted they can successfully trick the victim into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Application Passwords de georgestephanis, Description: El plugin Application Passwords para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting reflejado a través del parámetro 'reject_url' en todas las versiones hasta la 0.1.3, inclusive. Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en las URLs proporcionadas por el usuario, lo que permite incrustar esquemas de URI 'javascript:' en el parámetro reject_url. Esto posibilita que atacantes no autenticados inyecten scripts web arbitrarios que se ejecutan cuando un usuario hace clic en el botón “No, no apruebo esta conexión”, siempre que puedan engañar con éxito a la víctima para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace. -
