Descripción técnica

The W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content via LazyLoad Background Mutator in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.5 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 requires the "Lazy Load Images" feature with "Process background images" to be enabled, and the malicious comment to be approved by a moderator before execution is triggered.

——0The Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'not_found' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.9.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

——0The Contact Form by Supsystic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via IP Address Header in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.2 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. An unauthenticated attacker can first call the 'updateNonce' action — which is accessible without authentication due to its absence from the plugin's permission list — to obtain a valid nonce, then submit a contact form with a malicious payload in a spoofed IP header such as X-Forwarded-For.6h CVE-2026-755866.1 MED

——0The Unlimited Elements For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'formData[id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.17 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 front-end AJAX handler is registered on the public 'wp' action with no nonce, capability, or referer check, and the raw attacker-controlled id value is interpolated verbatim into an exception message that is echoed back without escaping; when the response is served as text/html rather than application/json, the browser parses the injected markup.6h CVE-2026-778307.2 ALT

——0The Spam protection, Honeypot, Anti-Spam by CleanTalk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content aria-label Placeholder in all versions up to, and including, 6.86 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The payload is deliverable via unauthenticated comment submission and executes exclusively for non-logged-in visitors; if comment moderation is enabled, an approving moderator must first publish the comment before the script reaches other users.7h CVE-2026-38536.4 MED

——0The Divi theme for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `image_src` attribute of the `et_pb_video_slider_item` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.27.6. This is due to the `image_src` field not being included in the `$url_options` whitelist (which only contains `url`, `button_link`, `button_url`), so it never receives `esc_url_raw()` at save time. On the server side, the value is rendered into a `data-image` HTML attribute using `esc_attr()`, which encodes double quotes as `"`. However, the client-side JavaScript carousel code in `custom.unified.js` reads this attribute using jQuery's `.data('image')`, which returns the browser-decoded value (with `"` decoded back to `"`). The decoded value is then concatenated directly into an HTML string and injected into the DOM via `jQuery.after()` without re-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 hovers over the carousel thumbnail.7h
