  • Sep 18, 2026Booking Calendar: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-92561 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'options' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.2 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 nonce check is bypassed by default because the 'booking_is_nonce_at_front_end' option ships disabled, allowing unauthenticated requests to reach the vulnerable sink without any verification.

  • Sep 18, 2026EmbedPress – PDF Embedder, 3D PDF FlipBook, Google Reviews, YouTube Videos, Upload & Embed PDF documents: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-89330 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The EmbedPress – PDF Embedder, 3D PDF FlipBook, Google Reviews, YouTube Videos, Upload & Embed PDF documents plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'unique' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.5 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. This is a regression: the esc_url() wrapper that remediated the equivalent CVE-2023-5749 in version 3.9.2 was removed in version 4.3.0 during a refactor that introduced the 'unique' parameter.

  • Sep 18, 2026Custom Twitter Feeds – A Tweets Widget or X Feed Widget: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-84909 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Custom Twitter Feeds – A Tweets Widget or X Feed Widget plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'buttoncolor' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.0 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. This vulnerability is exploitable on common installs where the admin has configured access tokens with zero or multiple legacy feeds, as this causes the ctf_statuses support_legacy_shortcode option to be set to boolean true by default, activating the unfiltered legacy shortcode attribute code path.

    The Magazine Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the News Ticker block's clientId attribute in versions up to, and including, 1.8.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the NewsTicker::render() method, which concatenates the clientId block attribute into an HTML class attribute without applying esc_attr(). 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.

  • Sep 17, 2026RT Mega Menu – Mega Menu Builder for Elementor & Gutenberg: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-15650 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The RT Mega Menu – Mega Menu Builder for Elementor & Gutenberg plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'pointer_menu_item' Block Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.2 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 payload bypasses wp_kses_post filtering applied to post content on save because it contains no HTML tags and survives intact inside the block comment's JSON attributes, reaching the walker unescaped at render time.

  • Sep 15, 2026MotoPress Hotel Booking: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-90650 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Stripe Webhook event object 'id' in all versions up to, and including, 6.2.4 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 premium Stripe webhook listener only verifies the webhook signature when an optional Stripe signing secret has been configured; because that secret is empty by default, a forged webhook is accepted without cryptographic verification, and the attacker-controlled event object 'id' (e.g. a forged 'refund.created' refund id) is written unescaped into the payment log and later echoed unsanitized when an administrator views the payment. An attacker must know a valid Stripe PaymentIntent ID for an existing payment to route the forged webhook to a payment record. Note: The vulnerable webhook handler (webhook-listener.php) is part of the premium Stripe gateway integration and is not present in the lite plugin directory.

  • Sep 11, 2026Media Library Assistant: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-6642 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the bulk edit preset export/import mechanism in versions up to and including 3.35. This is due to insufficient output escaping on preset field values when they are rendered in HTML attribute contexts in the mla_generate_bulk_edit_form_fieldsets() function and mla-bulk-edit-fieldsets.tpl template. While wp_kses() filtering is applied during preset export for users without unfiltered_html capability, this does not prevent attribute injection attacks since the malicious payload consists of quotes and HTML attributes rather than HTML tags. When preset values are retrieved and rendered, they are directly assigned to template variables without esc_attr() escaping and then inserted into input element value attributes via simple string replacement. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above (upload_files capability), to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator imports the poisoned preset and the targeted input field receives focus.

  • Sep 11, 2026Media Library Assistant: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-6641 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'mla_gallery' shortcode in versions up to and including 3.35. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the mla_link_href parameter when mla_output is set to 'paginate_links', where the _paginate_links() function processes the value through mla_process_shortcode_parameter() and _replace_query_parameter() without proper URL escaping, then outputs it directly in href attributes without applying esc_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 accesses an injected page.

    The WP-Members Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL Query String in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.6 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. Successful exploitation requires the victim to first visit the attacker-crafted URL and then click the Terms of Service link rendered on the resulting registration page.

    The Simple Ajax Chat – Add a Fast, Secure Chat Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Chat Message in all versions up to, and including, <= 20260811 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 protecting chat message submission is publicly visible on the chat page, rendering it ineffective as an authentication barrier and allowing fully unauthenticated attackers to submit malicious messages that are stored persistently and rendered to all visitors on every page load.
