  • Sep 23, 2026Forminator Forms: Does not bind its saved-draft notification to the visitor who created the draftCVE-2026-87074 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanLow 3.7

    The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not bind its saved-draft notification to the visitor who created the draft, and takes both the recipient address and the link written into the message from the request, so unauthenticated visitors can make the site send a message from its own mail configuration to any address, carrying a link of their choosing inside the site's own template. The token that authorises the send is handed to the anonymous caller by the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 itself and can be replayed without limit.

    The Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1 does not perform a nonce, capability or ownership check before running a one-time payment-field migration during the construction of one of its admin screens, and that construction happens on every wp-admin request for any logged-in user. Any authenticated user, including a Subscriber with no permissions in the Forminator Forms WordPress plugin before 1.57.2.1, can therefore rewrite the saved field configuration of any form on the site, including a live payment form.

    The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.0 via the wte_get_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files.

    The Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce – CTX Feed – Support 220+ Shopping & Social Channels plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.43 via the 'provider' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with shop manager-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when critical files are deleted. Exploitation requires two sequential REST API calls: first to /wp-json/ctxfeed/v1/make_feed/save_feed_config to persist the traversal payload in wp_options, then to /wp-json/ctxfeed/v1/manage_feeds/delete_feed to trigger the unlink(); deletion is further constrained to files whose extensions match the plugin's validated whitelist (csv, xml, tsv, xls, xlsx, json, txt).

    The WPC Product Bundles for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'qty' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The float cast used during quantity validation allows a numeric-prefixed payload such as '1<img src=x onerror=...>' to pass validation while retaining its malicious HTML, which is then stored verbatim in order item metadata under the '_woosb_ids' key.

    The WP Yelp Review Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Yelp Review Text (imported via wpyelp_download_source) in all versions up to, and including, 9.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The malicious payload originates from an anonymous Yelp reviewer on a public platform and requires no WordPress account; it is introduced into the database during the site administrator's ordinary use of the plugin's Download Reviews feature, making the effective attacker unauthenticated.

This is due to a missing capability check on the toggle_cache() function which is hooked to the wp_ajax_toggle_cache AJAX action. The function also lacks nonce verification.

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 4.0.7 via the tutor_quiz_builder_save AJAX action due to missing validation that nested question_id, answer_id, deleted_question_ids[], and deleted_answer_ids[] values in the submitted payload belong to a quiz/topic/course the requester is authorized to manage. The handler only validates the top-level course_id, topic_id, and (when supplied) payload['ID'], but the nested identifiers are passed straight into $wpdb->update/DELETE statements in QuizBuilder::save_questions(), QuizBuilder::save_question_answers(), and QuizBuilder::handle_delete(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level access and above, to overwrite the content and re-parent arbitrary quiz questions/answers belonging to other instructors or administrators, and to delete arbitrary quiz question and answer rows.

    The Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'dslc_module_downloads_output' Shortcode Content in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.21 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The save-time wp_kses_post check is bypassed because the payload is stored as a serialized string containing no HTML tags for kses to tokenize, and the shortcode callback re-emits attacker-controlled values — including view_all_link (href attribute), main_heading_title (h2 body), button_text (anchor body), and button_inline_svg (anchor body) — without any escaping at render time.

    The TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Translation Memory Suggestion Panel (v-html on suggestion.original) in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Unauthenticated attackers can seed the translation dictionary's original column with executable HTML because the front-end rendering pipeline decodes entity-encoded payloads via html_entity_decode() before persistence, and the original column is deliberately exempt from kses filtering — meaning no save-time sanitizer neutralizes the stored payload before it is later rendered in an administrator's session.

    The Meta Box AIO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 3.11.0. This is due to a chained flaw: the populate_via_query_string() function in the mb-frontend-submission component unconditionally overrides the form's target object_id from the GET parameter 'rwmb_frontend_field_object_id' without any authorization check, and Form::process() lacks the user_can_edit() check present in render(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the post_content of any page with an arbitrary shortcode via wp_update_post(); the mb-user-profile component then directly trusts the 'role' and 'auto_login' shortcode attributes in the injected [mb_user_profile_register] shortcode with no role validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator. The standalone plugins Meta Box Frontend Submission (in versions up to 4.5.6) and Meta Box User Profile (versions up to 3.11.0) are also affected.

    Metaphor Creations Ditty (ditty-news-ticker) before 3.1.70 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Author-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary HTML elements by supplying malicious wrapper attribute values in layout tags. The ditty_layout_render_tag_wrapper() function inserts caller-supplied wrapper attribute values directly as HTML element names without allowlist validation, bypassing wp_kses_post() sanitization because KSES runs at save time before layout tag attributes are resolved at render time, causing the payload to execute in the browser of any visitor viewing posts or pages embedding the affected Ditty item.

  • Sep 19, 2026Redux Framework: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-5410 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the spinner field in versions up to, and including, 4.5.13 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. In the user_meta_save() function scalar values bypass the sanitization logic that only processes arrays, allowing the spinner field value to be stored in user meta without proper sanitization. Later, at line 56 of class-redux-spinner.php in the render() function, this value is rendered in an unquoted HTML attribute without escaping via '$data_string .= ' data-val=' . $this->value;'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

    The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Media field filter values in versions up to, and including, 4.5.13 This is due to insufficient input sanitization of nested array values in the user_meta_save() function and unsafe output of filter CSS values in the render() function without proper escaping.

    The WP Composer – The Easiest Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pbwp_raw_shortcode' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to the shortcode handler decoding Base64-encoded content and outputting it directly without any sanitization or escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The Base64 encoding allows the payload to bypass WordPress's KSES content filtering at save time, since the encoded string contains no harmful HTML characters.

    The Wow Elements Addons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.11.2. This is due to the plugin passing user-controlled input from the 'Changelog File' setting directly to the wp_remote_get function without adequate validation or sanitization of the URL. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services.

    The Real3D Flipbook Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'lightboxtext' shortcode attribute (and other unsanitized attributes handled by on_shortcode()) in versions up to, and including, 5.1.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the on_shortcode() and print_global_options() functions: shortcode attribute values are copied verbatim into $this->flipbook_options and then emitted via wp_json_encode() inside a <script type="application/json"> block without the JSON_HEX_TAG flag, allowing a literal </script> byte sequence in the attribute value to break out of the JSON script context. Because WordPress's shortcode_parse_atts() applies stripcslashes() to attribute values, an attacker can encode the breakout tag as \x3c/script\x3e\x3cscript\x3e…\x3c/script\x3e, which survives the wp_kses_post save-time filter applied to Contributor content (the escape bytes are safe text characters, not HTML tags) and is decoded to real angle brackets at render time.
