    The Form Maker by 10Web plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Matrix field (Text Box input type) in form submissions in all versions up to, and including, 1.15.40. This is due to insufficient input sanitization (`sanitize_text_field` strips tags but not quotes) and missing output escaping when rendering submission data in the admin Submissions view. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript through a form submission that executes in the browser of an administrator who views the submission details.

    The Optimole – Optimize Images | Convert WebP & AVIF | CDN & Lazy Load | Image Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied 's' parameter (srcset descriptor) in the unauthenticated /wp-json/optimole/v1/optimizations REST endpoint. The endpoint validates requests using an HMAC signature and timestamp, but these values are exposed directly in the frontend HTML making them accessible to any visitor. The plugin uses sanitize_text_field() on the descriptor value of rest.php, which strips HTML tags but does not escape double quotes. The poisoned descriptor is then stored via transients (backed by the WordPress options table) and later retrieved and injected verbatim into the srcset attribute of tag_replacer.php without proper escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the injected page.

  • Apr 10, 2026UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WP: Blind Server-Side Request ForgeryCVE-2026-4979 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 5

    The UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.58. This is due to insufficient URL origin validation in the process_image_crop() method when processing avatar/banner image crop operations. The function accepts a user-controlled URL via the uwp_crop POST parameter and only validates it using esc_url() for sanitization and wp_check_filetype() for extension verification, without enforcing that the URL references a local uploads file. The URL is then passed to uwp_resizeThumbnailImage() which uses it in PHP image processing functions (getimagesize(), imagecreatefrom*()) that support URL wrappers and perform outbound HTTP requests. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to coerce the WordPress server into making arbitrary HTTP requests to attacker-controlled or internal network destinations, enabling internal network scanning and potential access to sensitive services.

  • Apr 10, 2026GreenShift - Animation and Page Builder Blocks: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-4895 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The GreenShift - Animation and Page Builder Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 12.8.9 This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the gspb_greenShift_block_script_assets() function. The function uses str_replace() to insert 'fetchpriority="high"' before 'src=' attributes when processing greenshift-blocks/image blocks with the disablelazy attribute enabled. Because this replacement operates on the entire HTML string without parsing, contributors can inject the string 'src=' into HTML attribute values (such as class attributes). When the str_replace executes, the double quotes in the replacement string break out of the attribute context, allowing injection of malicious HTML attributes like onfocus with JavaScript payloads. 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.

  • Apr 10, 2026Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution: Insecure Direct Object ReferenceCVE-2026-3371 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This is due to missing authorization checks in the `save_course_content_order()` private method, which is called unconditionally by the `tutor_update_course_content_order` AJAX handler. While the handler's `content_parent` branch includes a `can_user_manage()` check, the `save_course_content_order()` call processes attacker-supplied `tutor_topics_lessons_sorting` JSON without any ownership or capability verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to detach lessons from topics, reorder course content, and reassign lessons between topics in any course, including admin-owned courses, by sending a crafted AJAX request with manipulated topic and lesson IDs.

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized private course enrollment in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This is due to missing post_status validation in the `enroll_now()` and `course_enrollment()` functions. Both enrollment endpoints verify the nonce, user authentication, and whether the course is purchasable, but fail to check if the course has a `private` post_status. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to enroll in private courses by sending a crafted POST request with the target course ID. The enrollment record is created in the database and the private course title and enrollment status are exposed in the subscriber's dashboard, though WordPress core access control prevents the subscriber from viewing the actual course content (returns 404). Enrollment in private courses should be restricted to users with the `read_private_posts` capability.

    The AddFunc Head & Footer Code plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `aFhfc_head_code`, `aFhfc_body_code`, and `aFhfc_footer_code` post meta values in all versions up to, and including, 2.3. This is due to the plugin outputting these meta values without any sanitization or escaping. While the plugin restricts its own metabox and save handler to administrators via `current_user_can('manage_options')`, it does not use `register_meta()` with an `auth_callback` to protect these meta keys. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts via the WordPress Custom Fields interface that execute when an administrator previews or views the post.

    The UsersWP – Front-end login form, User Registration, User Profile & Members Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Access Control in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.58 This is due to insufficient field-level permission validation in the upload_file_remove() AJAX handler where the $htmlvar parameter is not validated against a whitelist of allowed fields or checked against the field's for_admin_use property. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to clear or reset any restricted usermeta column for their own user record, including fields marked as "For admin use only", bypassing intended field-level access restrictions.

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.7. This is due to missing authentication and authorization checks in the `pay_incomplete_order()` function. The function accepts an attacker-controlled `order_id` parameter and uses it to look up order data, then writes billing fields to the order owner's profile (`$order_data->user_id`) without verifying the requester's identity or ownership. Because the Tutor nonce (`_tutor_nonce`) is exposed on public frontend pages, this makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the billing profile (name, email, phone, address) of any user who has an incomplete manual order, by sending a crafted POST request with a guessed or enumerated `order_id`.

  • Apr 9, 2026Ultimate FAQ Accordion: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-4336 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Ultimate FAQ Accordion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via FAQ content in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.7. This is due to the plugin calling html_entity_decode() on post_content during rendering in the set_display_variables() function (View.FAQ.class.php, line 746), which converts HTML entity-encoded payloads back into executable HTML, combined with insufficient output escaping in the faq-answer.php template where the decoded content is echoed without wp_kses_post() or any other sanitization. The ufaq custom post type is registered with 'show_in_rest' => true and defaults to 'post' capability_type, allowing Author-level users to create and publish FAQs via the REST API. An Author can submit entity-encoded malicious HTML (e.g., <img src=x onerror=alert()>) which bypasses WordPress's kses sanitization at save time (since kses sees entities as plain text, not tags), but is then decoded back into executable HTML by html_entity_decode() at render time. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in FAQ pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an inject

    The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'sid' parameter of the 'wpdm_members' shortcode in versions up to and including 3.3.52. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the user-supplied 'sid' shortcode attribute. The sid parameter is extracted without sanitization in the members() function and stored via update_post_meta(), then echoed directly into an HTML id attribute in the members.php template without applying esc_attr().

    The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.18.3. This is due to the update_user_profile() function in controllers/flutter-user.php processing the 'meta_data' JSON parameter without any allowlist, blocklist, or validation of meta keys. The function reads raw JSON from php://input (line 1012), decodes it (line 1013), authenticates the user via cookie validation (line 1015), and then directly iterates over the user-supplied meta_data array passing arbitrary keys and values to update_user_meta() (line 1080) with no sanitization or restrictions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary user meta fields on their own accounts, including sensitive fields like wp_user_level (to escalate to administrator-level legacy checks), plugin-specific authorization flags (e.g., _wpuf_user_active, aiowps_account_status), and billing/profile fields with unsanitized values (potentially enabling Stored XSS in admin contexts).

  • Apr 8, 2026Robo Gallery: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-4300 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Robo Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Loading Label' setting in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3. The plugin uses a custom `|***...***|` marker pattern in its `fixJsFunction()` method to embed raw JavaScript function references within JSON-encoded configuration objects. When a gallery's options are rendered on the frontend, `json_encode()` wraps all string values in double quotes. The `fixJsFunction()` method then strips the `"|***` and `***|"` sequences, effectively converting a JSON string value into raw JavaScript code. The Loading Label field (stored as `rbs_gallery_LoadingWord` post_meta) is an `rbstext` type field that is sanitized with `sanitize_text_field()` on save. While this strips HTML tags, it does not strip the `|***...***|` markers since they contain no HTML. When a user inputs `|***alert(document.domain)***|`, the value passes through sanitization intact, is stored in post_meta, and is later retrieved and output within an inline `<script>` tag via `renderMainBlock()` with the quote markers stripped — resulting in arbitrary JavaScript execution. The gallery post type uses `capability_type => 'post'`, allow

    The pdfl.io plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pdflio' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'text' shortcode attribute. The output_shortcode() function directly concatenates the user-supplied $text variable into HTML output without applying esc_html() or any other escaping function. 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 PrivateContent Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'align' shortcode attribute in the [pc-login-form] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'align' attribute. Specifically, the attribute value flows from the shortcode through pc_login_form() to pc_static::form_align(), where it is directly concatenated into an HTML class attribute without esc_attr() or any escaping.
