How it was found

Hi,

Summary: This exploits an XSS vulnerability on polldaddy.com

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a multiple-choice question quiz on Polldaddy
  2. Insert stored XSS payload into Media Embed such that it matches the shortcode format Payload: [<img src="http://url.to.file.which/not.exist" onerror=alert("Hello!");>]
  3. When someone goes on the quiz page through the quiz share link, the payload will execute.
