Assigner: Wordfence

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.

This vulnerability is a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue in the Application Passwords plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 0.1.3. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape user-supplied URLs in the 'reject_url' parameter. This allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes when a user clicks the "No, I do not approve of this connection" button, if the attacker can trick the user into clicking a crafted link.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website. This can lead to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed on behalf of the user.
