  • Oct 5, 2026The NXP GAU ADC driver (drivers/adc/adc_mcux_gau_adc.c) validated the caller-supplied sequence->buffer_size, which is expressed in bytes, against the number of CVE-2026-19184 · Other software · zephyrproject · reported by vulnerabilities@zephyrproject.orgHigh 8.4

    The NXP GAU ADC driver (drivers/adc/adc_mcux_gau_adc.c) validated the caller-supplied sequence->buffer_size, which is expressed in bytes, against the number of active channels, which is a sample count. It then stored that byte count directly in data->results_length and used it in mcux_gau_adc_read_samples() as the number of uint16_t slots available. Because each conversion result occupies sizeof(uint16_t) bytes, a buffer that was accepted as "large enough" could be written with up to twice its size in bytes, so every sample past the buffer's midpoint was written out of bounds. adc_read() and adc_read_async() are Zephyr system calls. The syscall verifier in drivers/adc/adc_handlers.c only confirms that the caller owns buffer_size writable bytes (K_SYSCALL_MEMORY_WRITE); deciding whether that size is sufficient for the requested channels and extra_samplings is delegated entirely to the driver. On a build with CONFIG_USERSPACE=y, a user-mode thread that has been granted the ADC device object could therefore submit a deliberately half-sized buffer and cause the driver's work-queue handler — which runs in supervisor mode, outside the caller's MPU restrictions — to write ADC conversion

  • Oct 3, 2026Burst Statistics – Simple WordPress Analytics (Google Analytics Alternative): Improper Authentication leading to Account PersistenceCVE-2026-97343 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Burst Statistics – Simple WordPress Analytics (Google Analytics Alternative) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Authentication leading to Account Persistence in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.1. This is due to the `maybe_load_shared_dashboard()` handler issuing a genuine WordPress session cookie for the `burst_statistics_viewer` account to any visitor presenting a valid share token via `wp_set_auth_cookie()`, while the plugin only blocks Application Passwords for the resulting `burst_viewer` role and does not restrict the core `/wp-json/wp/v2/users/me` password update endpoint or filter the `edit_user` capability for that account — leaving WordPress core's built-in rule that any authenticated user may update their own account fully in effect. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set an attacker-chosen password on the `burst_statistics_viewer` WordPress account, constituting a permanent takeover of that limited-privilege (`view_burst_statistics`) account that persists through share-token revocation, share-token expiration, and execution of the plugin's daily `cleanup_viewer_sessions()` routine. Exploitation requires that the attacker have o

    The SEOPress – AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Author Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 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. Exploitation requires the 'Track Authors' custom dimension to be configured in the plugin's Google Analytics 4 or Matomo settings, and the attacker must be able to publish public singular content (e.g., via bbPress forum topics) so that the injected display name is rendered in the tracking script.

  • Oct 2, 2026GSpeech TTS – WordPress Text To Speech: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-96578 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The GSpeech TTS – WordPress Text To Speech Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 3.22.0 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 mXSS-style transform bypasses WordPress comment kses sanitization because the payload is stored using only kses-allowed tags and attributes; the malicious event handlers and style fragments become active only when the plugin's output-buffer callback rewrites the rendered HTML at request time.

    The Avada | Website Builder For WordPress & WooCommerce theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'lang' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.16.1 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 injected value is propagated through Fusion_Multilingual::set_active_language() and concatenated into a URL by Fusion_Settings::get_setting_link() without applying urlencode(), esc_url(), or esc_attr() before being echoed raw into a double-quoted href attribute in the post editor metabox.

    The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'gdpr-data' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0 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 exploitable by Subscriber-level users against other accounts because the AJAX handlers accept an arbitrary gdpr-user ID without verifying it belongs to the requester, and the required wpas-gdpr-nonce is emitted via wp_localize_script to every logged-in user on frontend plugin pages and on /wp-admin/profile.php.

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 LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin for Create and Sell Online Courses plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 4.4.8 via the CourseMaterialTemplate::render_material_items() callback exposed on the public lp-ajax-handle (load_content_via_ajax) endpoint. The endpoint is explicitly listed in the AbstractAjax no-nonce allowlist and performs no capability check, and the render_material_items() handler decides authorization against one attacker-supplied identifier (course_id) while fetching the returned material rows via a second, independently attacker-supplied identifier (item_id) with no check that the lesson belongs to the authorized course. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and download course-material files (uploaded and external file paths/URLs) belonging to lessons in paid or enrollment-required courses, provided any single course on the site has 'No Required Enroll' enabled and owns at least one material file.

    The Ultimate Multisite – WordPress Multisite SaaS & WaaS Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.0 via the `checkout_form` parameter of the `login_customer_after_checkout` function. This is due to the publicly accessible `wu_ajax_nopriv_wu_validate_form` AJAX handler accepting a freely obtainable checkout nonce, and the `checkout_form=wu-finish-checkout` parameter causing `get_validation_rules()` to discard all validation rules while `finish_checkout_form_fields()` returns an empty step list — forcing `is_last_step()` to return true and routing the request directly into full order processing — after which `maybe_create_customer()` resolves the attacker-supplied `email_address` to an existing WordPress user ID without any authentication or ownership verification, and `login_customer_after_checkout()` calls `wp_set_auth_cookie()` for that user ID via a passwordless code path. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user — including a Network Super Admin — simply by knowing their email address.
