  • Sep 5, 2026Contact Form by Supsystic: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-83625 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Contact Form by Supsystic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via IP Address Header in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.2 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. An unauthenticated attacker can first call the 'updateNonce' action — which is accessible without authentication due to its absence from the plugin's permission list — to obtain a valid nonce, then submit a contact form with a malicious payload in a spoofed IP header such as X-Forwarded-For.

  • Sep 5, 2026Unlimited Elements For Elementor: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-75586 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'formData[id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.17 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The front-end AJAX handler is registered on the public 'wp' action with no nonce, capability, or referer check, and the raw attacker-controlled id value is interpolated verbatim into an exception message that is echoed back without escaping; when the response is served as text/html rather than application/json, the browser parses the injected markup.

    The W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content via LazyLoad Background Mutator in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 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. This requires the "Lazy Load Images" feature with "Process background images" to be enabled, and the malicious comment to be approved by a moderator before execution is triggered.

    The Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content aria-label Placeholder in all versions up to, and including, 6.86 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The payload is deliverable via unauthenticated comment submission and executes exclusively for non-logged-in visitors; if comment moderation is enabled, an approving moderator must first publish the comment before the script reaches other users.

  • Sep 5, 2026Divi: DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-3853 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `image_src` attribute of the `et_pb_video_slider_item` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `image_src` field not being included in the `$url_options` whitelist (which only contains `url`, `button_link`, `button_url`), so it never receives `esc_url_raw()` at save time. On the server side, the value is rendered into a `data-image` HTML attribute using `esc_attr()`, which encodes double quotes as `"`. However, the client-side JavaScript carousel code in `custom.unified.js` reads this attribute using jQuery's `.data('image')`, which returns the browser-decoded value (with `"` decoded back to `"`). The decoded value is then concatenated directly into an HTML string and injected into the DOM via `jQuery.after()` without re-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 hovers over the carousel thumbnail.

  • Sep 5, 2026Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-19769 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Repeater Child 'type' Confusion via Unmatched Array Key in all versions up to, and including, 3.15.1 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. Exploitation requires the Ninja Forms File Uploads add-on to be active, as the attack routes the unwhitelisted child entry through the File Uploads handler to write an attacker-supplied HTML file containing arbitrary JavaScript into any web-server-writable directory, including the site root, where it is served from the site's own origin.

  • Sep 5, 2026Gravity Forms: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-16649 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Post Body Field Value in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 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. The exploit survives save-time sanitization because wp_kses_post allows the required HTML tags and attributes, and the client-side tooltip script re-parses the browser-decoded aria-label value as innerHTML while only stripping script elements, leaving onerror and other event-handler attributes fully intact and executable.

    The QuickCal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Custom Field Parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.20 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 nonce guarding the unauthenticated booked_add_appt AJAX action is publicly embedded on any page rendering the booking calendar shortcode, making it trivially obtainable by unauthenticated attackers without any prior account or privilege.

  • Sep 5, 2026WP File Download: Directory TraversalCVE-2026-14975 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.5

    The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.8 via the 'remoteurl' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access first poisons the _wpfd_file_metadata['file'] post-meta value via the unprotected file.save handler, after which the streaming endpoint — hooked on init with no authentication requirement — resolves and streams the traversed file path to any caller, including unauthenticated visitors.

    The Dear Flipbook – PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook, PDF embed, PDF viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_content (Custom HTML block inner HTML)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.30 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. A Contributor-level attacker can insert a crafted .df-element div with data-df-lightbox='thumb' via a Custom HTML block, whose inner HTML is passed as the title argument to parseThumbs() at render time, enabling both innerHTML injection into a span element and attribute breakout via an onerror handler on a constructed img element.

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 payload is embedded as a Base64-encoded JSON object in a CSS class name on a Custom HTML block; the frontend parseCSSElements() function decodes it client-side with atob() and JSON.parse() and renders the logo property as raw HTML, meaning no server-side or client-side sanitization intercepts the malicious script before DOM insertion.

  • Sep 5, 2026iubenda | All-in-one Compliance for GDPR / CCPA Cookie Consent + more: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-77263 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The iubenda | All-in-one Compliance for GDPR / CCPA Cookie Consent + more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 3.13.4 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 exploit works by embedding KSES-allowed markup such as abbr title attributes and HTML comments in a submitted comment so that the global strtr() substitution strips substrings from an inert tag, mutating it into an executable element such as an img onerror handler that runs in the WordPress origin for any visitor, including logged-in administrators.

    The Social Chat – Click To Chat App Button plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'consent_message' JSON Attribute in .qlwapp data-box in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.2 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 exploit requires no user interaction beyond page load, as setting auto_open and consent_enabled to 'yes' in the injected data-box JSON causes the consent box — and the embedded script — to execute immediately on page load.

    The Mstore Api plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via JWT Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.20.0 This is due to missing cryptographic signature verification in the FirebasePhoneAuthHelper::verify_id_token() function, which decodes and validates Firebase ID token claims (alg, kid, aud, iss) but never calls openssl_verify() or any equivalent to validate the JWT signature against Google's actual public key certificates. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to forge a Firebase Phone Auth JWT signed with a self-generated RSA key pair and impersonate any phone number, resulting in unauthorized access to existing WordPress accounts or creation of new arbitrary accounts.

    The Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via event attribute values in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization when storing attribute values (using only `wp_unslash()` without sanitization) and lack of output escaping when rendering the '#_ATT{key}' placeholder.

  • Sep 3, 2026Divi: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-3852 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `skype_url` shortcode attribute of the Social Media Follow module in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to a three-part sanitization failure: (1) the `skype_url` field is not included in the `$url_options` whitelist in `class-et-builder-element.php`, so it never invokes `esc_url_raw()` during shortcode processing, (2) the render code in `SocialMediaFollowItem.php` explicitly skips `esc_url()` for Skype URLs (`! $is_skype ? esc_url( $url ) : $skype_url`), and (3) only `sanitize_text_field()` is applied, which preserves single and double quote characters allowing attribute breakout. The unsanitized value is interpolated directly into a single-quoted `href` attribute (`href='{$social_network_link_url}'`). 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 interacts with the injected element.

  • Sep 2, 2026Divi: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-3850 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `redirect_url` parameter of the `et_pb_contact_form` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `redirect_url` attribute being sanitized with `esc_attr()` instead of `esc_url()` before being rendered into the `data-redirect_url` HTML data attribute. Additionally, `redirect_url` is absent from the hardcoded `$url_options` array in `class-et-builder-element.php`, so it does not receive `esc_url_raw()` sanitization during shortcode parsing. After a successful form submission, client-side JavaScript reads this data attribute and passes it directly to `window.location.href`, executing arbitrary JavaScript from a `javascript:` URI. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute whenever a user submits the contact form.
