How it was found
Hi,
Summary: This exploits an XSS vulnerability on polldaddy.com
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a multiple-choice question quiz on Polldaddy
- 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!");>]
- When someone goes on the quiz page through the quiz share link, the payload will execute.
