  • Oct 1, 2026Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-89427 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 's' Search Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.18 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. Exploitation requires that a site administrator has configured at least one Ad Inserter block using the {title} or {short-title} placeholder with that block enabled for search pages, which is a standard, documented plugin feature.

  • Oct 1, 2026Duplicate Post: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-89424 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Duplicate Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'noti_token' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.6 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 requires that the site owner has enabled the plugin's User Level Permissions for the Subscriber role, as this grants access to the i_saw_this_noti AJAX branch needed to deliver the payload.

  • Oct 1, 2026Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-85235 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Rich-Text Textarea Field in all versions up to, and including, 1.57.2 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. Successful exploitation requires an administrator to open the stored submission entry in the Forminator Entries view and interact with the planted link, at which point WordPress core's jQuery-based click handler on `.contextual-help-tabs a` evaluates the entity-decoded href as HTML, firing the attacker's payload in the administrator's authenticated wp-admin session.

  • Oct 1, 2026Autoptimize: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-14995 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via REQUEST_URI Path in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.15.1 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 Critical CSS feature to be active with a valid API key configured, as this is the precondition for unauthenticated frontend requests to trigger queue entries via ao_ccss_enqueue().

  • Oct 1, 2026bbp style pack: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-101925 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The bbp style pack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'display_name (via /wp-admin/profile.php) + bbp_reply_content (via bbPress reply form)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.8 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. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to wrap their crafted reply in a <pre> block, which prevents WordPress's wpautop/wptexturize processors from converting straight double quotes in the stored display name into typographic curly-quote entities that would otherwise neutralize the attribute-injection.

    The Calculated Fields Form – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact, Payment, Quote, Quiz & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'x (attacker-chosen name matching the form's url.<name> predefined value)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.1.3 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. Exploitation requires that the targeted form has a Text Area field configured with a 'url.<name>' Predefined Value and predefinedClick disabled, which is a documented and commonly used plugin feature.

    The Calculated Fields Form – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact, Payment, Quote, Quiz & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'x (any URL parameter consumed by the form's calculated equation)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.1.3 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. Exploitation requires the target site to have a public form configured with a Select2-enabled dropdown whose choices are populated via a calculated equation that pipes a URL parameter through GETURLPARAMETER() into setChoices({texts:[...]}); given that configuration, exploitation requires only a single crafted link.

  • Oct 1, 2026Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-89047 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 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 victim to be on a mobile user-agent and to click the WeChat share icon, though once the dialog opens, script execution is automatic and requires no further user interaction.

  • Oct 1, 2026Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-19902 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Ad Inserter – Ad Manager & AdSense Ads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the Referer header in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.18 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the '{search-query}' dynamic tag. When an ad block's code contains that tag, replace_ai_tags() reads $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and tests it with the regex /[\.\/](google|yahoo|bing|ask)\.[a-z\.]{2,5}[\/]/i. The leading [\.\/] class matches a literal slash, so any referrer merely containing a segment such as '/google.com/' passes as a search-engine referral; the plugin then percent-decodes the referring query with parse_str() and substitutes the resulting 'q' (or 'p') value into the block via preg_replace() with no escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the site for any visitor, including a signed-in administrator, by luring them to an attacker-controlled page that frames or links to any ordinary post. Exploitation requires the site to have an ad block whose code uses the '{search-query}' tag with automatic insertion enabled — a documented plugin feature used as intended.

  • Oct 1, 2026Extendify: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-85679 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Extendify plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'styles.blocks' Block Type Key in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.6 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. This is possible because registerIncoming() is hooked on rest_request_before_callbacks and runs before WordPress evaluates the route's permission_callback, meaning any unauthenticated POST, PUT, or PATCH request to a /wp/v2/global-styles route can trigger the vulnerable code path.

  • Oct 1, 2026AI Engine – The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-96561 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The AI Engine – The Chatbot, AI Framework & MCP for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 This is due to a chain of missing input neutralization and output escaping across the /mwai-ui/v1/chats/submit REST endpoint, the PHP error-log parser (MeowKit_MWAI_Helpers::php_error_logs), the Advisor task (Meow_MWAI_Modules_Advisor::run_advisor), and the Advisor dashboard widget (advisor_metabox): the server-parameter denylist in chat_submit strips only exact key names such as 'model' while convert_keys() later canonicalizes 'model_' back to 'model', allowing an unauthenticated caller to place an attacker-controlled string (including CR/LF) into $query->model; final_checks() throws an Exception whose message embeds that raw string, and the non-streaming, non-admin catch branch writes it to the PHP error log unmodified — creating a forged log line that the plugin's own parser subsequently returns as recent PHP-error content; run_advisor() then appends that content verbatim to the AI prompt (indirect prompt injection — CWE-1427), the returned JSON is stored in the mwai_advisor_data option with no schema validation o

    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 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.
