endpoint with thecompiled_css
parameter containing injected JavaScript (e.g.,<script>
tags)./wp-json/tdw/save_css
, using a lowercase transform for case insensitivity.compiled_css
parameter in the POST body, decoding and lowercasing it, and matches if it contains the string<script>
, which is a strong indicator of XSS payload injection.<script>
rather than specific payloads.Validation checklist:
