- →Look for GET requests to /plugins/address_add/add.php with unsanitized user input in the 'first' query parameter, particularly containing HTML/script injection payloads (e.g., <script>, onMouseOver event handlers, or IMG tags). ↗
- →Match HTTP 200 responses from /plugins/address_add/add.php with Content-Type: text/html that reflect injected script content (e.g., alert(document.domain)) in the response body. ↗
- →The vulnerability is exploitable via the 'first' GET parameter in add.php; monitor for URL-encoded script tags or event handler injections (e.g., %3Cscript%3E, onMouseOver) in requests to this endpoint. ↗
- ·The CVE references versions 1.9 and 2.0 of the Address Add Plugin, but the exploit-db proof-of-concept and Nuclei template target version 1.4.2. Detections should cover all three version references. ↗
- ·Successful exploitation allows theft of cookie-based authentication credentials; ensure cookie theft detection (e.g., document.cookie exfiltration) is also monitored in addition to alert-based XSS probes. ↗
