  • Aug 28, 2026Customer Reviews for WooCommerce: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-6176 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the aggregated review form submission in versions up to and including 5.106.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied review comment text. The plugin accepts review submissions from unauthenticated users through the 'cr_local_forms_submit' AJAX action without sanitizing HTML content before storing it via wp_insert_comment(), and later renders this stored content on product pages through comment_text() without proper escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers with a valid review form URL (obtainable through review reminder emails sent to customers who placed orders) to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the affected product page.

  • Aug 28, 2026Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-6286 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via customer name fields in versions up to and including 2.2. This is due to an authentication bypass where the AddBookingCommand explicitly skips nonce verification (Command.php line 186), allowing unauthenticated users to submit booking data. While the plugin applies sanitize_text_field() to customer firstName and lastName fields (BookingApplicationService.php lines 302-308), this function only removes HTML tags and preserves special characters including double quotes. The vulnerability manifests in the administrative Calendar view where a FullCalendar eventContent callback interpolates customer names directly into JavaScript template literals (redesign/dist/index.js line 199) and renders them via innerHTML without proper HTML entity encoding. Because double quotes are preserved, an attacker can inject payloads like '" onmouseover="alert(document.cookie)"' to break out of the title attribute and inject malicious event handlers. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute when an administrator accesse

  • Aug 28, 2026ElementsKit Pro: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-4246 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The ElementsKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 's' parameter of the Advanced Search REST endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The REST endpoint at /wp-json/elementskit/v1/advanced-search uses permission_callback set to __return_true, allowing unauthenticated access. Search terms are stored in the ekit_advanced_search_popular_keyword WordPress option via update_option(). While sanitize_text_field() is applied, it does not encode double quotes, and the stored keywords are rendered in HTML attributes via sprintf without esc_attr(), allowing attribute injection. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user triggers the "no results" popular keywords view on pages using the Advanced Search widget.

    The TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Noise-Key Injection into HTML Parser in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.3 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 is possible because WordPress's comment KSES allowlist permits the payload structure — an anchor tag with href and title attributes alongside a code tag — causing the malicious comment to be stored verbatim in the database, where it is later processed by the vulnerable parser during page translation.

This is due to a flawed regular expression that is used to strip `width` and `height` attributes from images when the "Lazy Load Images" and "Add Missing Sizes" features are enabled.

    The One User Avatar | User Profile Picture plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.4 via the wpua_action_process_option_update function. This is due to insufficient file type validation in wp_handle_upload() called without a MIME allow-list, with post-write validation relying on the attacker-controlled client-supplied Content-Type header rather than a server-derived type, and no cleanup of files that fail the check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. in order to exploit this vulnerability an admin has to give subscribers permission to upload avatars. While PHP files and svg files are rejected, dxfp files are accepted.

    The LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.1 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. A comment payload crafted exclusively from decimal numeric character references (e.g. &#34;, &#60;, &#62;) placed inside an allowed element such as &lt;code&gt; bypasses WordPress's wp_kses sanitization, as kses does not treat a data-settings="..." substring within text content as an HTML attribute, allowing the malicious payload to reach the vulnerable function. For this to be exploitable, the site must allow users with previously approved comments to write new comments, and the require_name_email setting must be disabled.

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.

  • Aug 26, 2026Classified Listing - Mobile Number Verification: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-15985 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The Classified Listing - Mobile Number Verification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.0. This is due to missing server-side Firebase OTP validation in the process_otp_login() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to authenticate as any user with a phone number registered in the plugin's phone table by submitting an arbitrary OTP code and UID through the Firebase OTP login flow. Successful exploitation requires OTP login to be enabled with Firebase selected as the verification gateway, and requires the attacker to know or guess the target account's registered phone number. Administrator account takeover is possible if an administrator account has a phone number registered in the plugin.

  • Aug 26, 2026ERP: Complete HR, Accounting & CRM Suite Built for WooCommerce: Unrestricted File Type UploadCVE-2026-18080 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The ERP: Complete HR, Accounting & CRM Suite Built for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unrestricted File Type Upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.17.8 via the save_attachments() function. This is due to missing file extension validation and missing path normalization when CRM Email Connect processes inbound IMAP email attachments. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send a crafted email to the site's configured inbound mailbox with a forged References header matching the plugin's expected pattern and an attachment filename such as `../helper.php`, causing the cron-based IMAP sync job to write attacker-controlled PHP outside of the .htaccess-protected `crm-attachments` directory and into `wp-content/uploads/`. On configurations where PHP executes in uploads, this can lead to remote code execution. Exploitation requires the CRM module and IMAP Email Connect feature to be enabled and configured.

    The Reviews and Rating – Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 5.10. This is due to the wp_display() shortcode handler, used by multiple shortcodes, allowing attacker-controlled html_tags values to define raw HTML tags and then embedding untrusted vicinity content inside those tags. 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.

  • Aug 26, 2026Formidable Forms – WordPress Form Builder for Contact Forms, Calculators, Quizzes & More: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-18331 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Formidable Forms – WordPress Form Builder for Contact Forms, Calculators, Quizzes & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'frm_user_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.33.1 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. By forging frm_user_id to match an administrator's user ID — discoverable via the public WordPress REST API — an unauthenticated attacker causes wp_kses_post() to serve as the only output filter, which preserves the injected payload structurally intact; the plugin's admin JavaScript then decodes and executes it automatically on page load.
