    The Floating Chat Widget: Contact Chat Icons, Telegram Chat, Line Messenger, WeChat, Email, SMS, Call Button – Chaty plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.9 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. WordPress's server-side HTML encoding of the 's' search parameter in the <title> element is bypassed because the browser DOM API decodes HTML entities when jQuery's .text() method reads document.title, returning literal special characters that are then embedded unescaped into the constructed HTML attribute value.

    The Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.14.6 via deserialization of untrusted input . This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present. The deserialization is triggered automatically during form import when WPN_Helper::build_nf_cache() invokes $action->get_settings() immediately after the crafted form is imported, requiring no further interaction beyond the import action itself.

  • 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, 2026Custom Contact Forms: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-75018 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Custom Contact Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.16. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to permanently force-delete arbitrary posts of any post type (including pages, administrator-authored posts, and WooCommerce products) and write arbitrary ccf_field_* post meta onto any post regardless of ownership or post type. The top-level form ID is checked via edit_post/publish_posts, but the nested fields[].ID and choices[].ID paths processed by _create_and_map_fields() and _create_and_map_choices() carry no equivalent capability or post-type guard, leaving those sinks fully exposed while delete_item() and delete_submission() contain explicit post-type restriction fixes demonstrating the developer's awareness of scoping requirements.

  • 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 2, 2026Yoast SEO Premium: Does not sanitize control characters from redirect origins before writing them to the site's Apache configuration fileCVE-2026-10821 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanMedium 6.6

    The Yoast SEO Premium WordPress plugin before 27.6.1 does not sanitize control characters from redirect origins before writing them to the site's Apache configuration file when the file-based redirect mode is enabled, and the redirect-creation endpoint is reachable by users with only Author-level access. This allows such users to inject arbitrary newline-delimited Apache directives into the root .htaccess file. On Apache servers that honour PHP directives, the injection can be chained with the user's own media upload (a polyglot image carrying a PHP payload) and an auto_prepend_file directive to achieve Remote Code Execution.
