CVE-2020-36854 (GCVE-0-2020-36854)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-10-18 03:33 – Updated: 2025-10-20 16:32
VLAI?
Summary
The Async JavaScript plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.19.07.14. This is due to missing authorization checks on the aj_steps AJAX aciton along with a lack on sanitization on the settings saved via the function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber level permissions and above to inject malicious web scripts into a page that execute whenever a user accesses that page.
