    The Contact Form by Supsystic WordPress plugin before 1.11.1 does not validate a CSRF token or request origin on two administrator-only actions that bulk-delete captured form submissions and wipe a form's statistics, allowing attackers to permanently destroy a site's stored contact leads and analytics by tricking a logged-in administrator into sending a forged request.

  • Oct 23, 2026Anti-Spam by CleanTalk – Spam Protection Without CAPTCHA: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-109198 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Anti-Spam by CleanTalk – Spam Protection Without CAPTCHA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'user_email' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.89.1 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. Successful exploitation requires user registration to be open on the site, and script execution is triggered when an Administrator subsequently runs the plugin's user-spam scan and views the resulting Non-checkable users or Spam users tab — the plugin's own documented workflow.

    The Anti-Spam by CleanTalk – Spam Protection Without CAPTCHA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.88 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 vulnerability is exploitable once a comment from the attacker's email address has been approved; on default WordPress installations, only the first comment from a given email address is held for moderation, meaning subsequent comments auto-approve and immediately expose the payload to site visitors.

    The ShortPixel Adaptive Images – WebP, AVIF, CDN, Image Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.11.5. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify configuration options of third-party plugins including ShortPixel Image Optimizer, Autoptimize, WP Rocket, Imagify, and LiteSpeed Cache, as well as the plugin's own API key and account binding. Exploitation requires the respective third-party plugins to be installed, as the impact against those plugins' settings is only reachable when those plugins are present.

    The Invisible Anti-Spam & CAPTCHA — reCAPTCHA Alternative for All Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'action' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.1 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. The stored payload is written by any unauthenticated admin-ajax.php request whose action value matches an entry in the plugin's explicit-actions list, which is auto-populated for common form builders at activation and requires no authentication gate to reach the save path.

    The Subscriptions for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.0.1 does not validate the payment amount or bind the PayPal order token to the order being completed on the WooCommerce order-received flow: it captures a client-supplied token and marks the order paid whenever the capture status is COMPLETED, without comparing the captured amount to the order total.

    The Blue Captcha plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to and including 2.0.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the main admin panel (blcap_main_page) and on the Hall of Shame and Log subpages, which accept a 'blcap_action' / 'action' parameter from $_REQUEST and perform destructive operations (plugin uninstall via blcap_uninstall(), log deletion via blcap_delete_logs(), Hall of Shame deletion via blcap_delete_ip_db(), and adding IPs to the banned list via update_option('blcap_settings')) with no wp_verify_nonce(), check_admin_referer(), or check_ajax_referer() calls anywhere in the codebase. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to uninstall the plugin, delete audit logs, remove Hall of Shame entries, and add arbitrary IP addresses to the block list via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

  • Jun 5, 2026WP Captcha PRO (the premium version of the Advanced Google reCAPTCHA plugin, both have the same slug): Authentication BypassCVE-2026-5415 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The WP Captcha PRO (the premium version of the Advanced Google reCAPTCHA plugin, both have the same slug) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.38. This is due to the ajax_run_tool() AJAX handler relying solely on a nonce check (check_ajax_referer) for security without performing any capability check, combined with the create_temporary_link tool allowing the generation of passwordless login links for arbitrary users, and the handle_temporary_links() function authenticating visitors via these links without any additional authorization validation. The required nonce is exposed to all authenticated backend users (including Subscribers) via wp_localize_script() on all non-settings admin pages when the plugin's welcome pointer has not been dismissed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to bypass normal authentication and log in as any user, including Administrators, resulting in complete account takeover.

    The WP Captcha PRO (the premium version of the Advanced Google reCAPTCHA plugin, both have the same slug) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload in all versions up to, and including, 5.38. This is due to a capability check in the save_ajax() function of the licensing module, combined with unrestricted file extraction in sync_cloud_protection(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files including PHP webshells to the server by injecting a malicious cloud_protection_url into the license meta, which the plugin then downloads and extracts without file type validation into a web-accessible uploads directory. This can be used for remote code execution. Note: The vulnerability can only be exploited with a remote URL if "allow_url_fopen" is enabled in the php.ini config.

  • May 28, 2026Login No Captcha reCAPTCHA: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-2374 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Login No Captcha reCAPTCHA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` superglobal in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.0. This is due to the `authenticate()` function storing the unsanitized output of `basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])` in the `login_nocaptcha_error` WordPress option when a login attempt is made from a non-standard login page (e.g., xmlrpc.php). The `admin_notices()` function then echoes this stored value directly into the admin dashboard HTML without escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator with a whitelisted IP address visits the WordPress dashboard within 30 seconds of the attack.

  • Apr 23, 2026reCaptcha by WebDesignBy: Does not sanitize or escape the Site Key setting before outputting it in a JavaScript string context via the grecaptcha_js() functionCVE-2026-4512 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanLow 3.5

    The reCaptcha by WebDesignBy WordPress plugin before 2.0 does not sanitize or escape the Site Key setting before outputting it in a JavaScript string context via the grecaptcha_js() function. This allows administrators on multisite installations (who do not have the unfiltered_html capability) to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes for all visitors to the WordPress login page.

  • Apr 22, 2026Kcaptcha: Cross-Site Request ForgeryCVE-2026-4121 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Kcaptcha plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 1.0.1. This is due to missing nonce validation in the plugin's settings page handler (admin/setting.php). The settings form does not include a wp_nonce_field() and the form processing code does not call wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() before saving settings to the database via $wpdb->update(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's CAPTCHA settings (enabling or disabling CAPTCHA on login, registration, lost password, and comment forms) via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.
