  • Sep 30, 2026Post Views Stats Counter: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-97347 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Post Views Stats Counter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via User-Agent Header in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 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 plugin's only input filter is a substring blacklist for known bot signatures (e.g. 'bot', 'spider', 'crawler'), which can be trivially bypassed by crafting a User-Agent payload that omits those strings.

  • Sep 30, 2026Real Estate Manager – Property Listing and Agent Management: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-93908 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Real Estate Manager – Property Listing and Agent Management plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'before_price_text' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 vulnerability is further enabled by the absence of any capability, nonce, or ownership check on the wp_ajax_rem_create_pro_ajax handler, and because the value is persisted via update_post_meta rather than post_content, the wp_kses filtering tied to the unfiltered_html capability does not apply.

  • Sep 30, 2026ReactPress – Create React App for: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-92712 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The ReactPress – Create React App for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'permalink' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. This is possible because the permalink parameter is only passed through sanitize_url(), which does not prevent fetching attacker-controlled remote URLs whose response body — including script tags and event-handler attributes — is written verbatim to disk via file_put_contents().

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The endpoint's only authentication gate relies on a nonce and token that are both publicly emitted as JavaScript globals on any page rendering the [pdapp-studio-page] shortcode, making them freely obtainable by anonymous visitors.

    The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based blind SQL Injection via the 'stm_lat/stm_lng' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.109 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query.

  • Sep 29, 2026Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite – Frontend Posting: Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-96649 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite – Frontend Posting WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via post_content Parameter (data-label DOM Sink) in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 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. This requires the site operator to have enabled guest post submission via the [fpsm] shortcode, which registers a publicly accessible AJAX handler gated only by a nonce emitted on every page containing the shortcode.

Exploit odds are FIRST’s EPSS, updated daily. Titles and categories are ours, so check the linked record before acting on a detail. For a write-up of the big ones, see our advisories.
