Published: Wed Feb 18 2026 (02/18/2026, 09:25:51 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: videowhisper
Product: Video Share VOD – Turnkey Video Site Builder Script

Description

The Video Share VOD – Turnkey Video Site Builder Script plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Analysis

The Video Share VOD – Turnkey Video Site Builder Script plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated users with editor-level or higher permissions can inject arbitrary web scripts via plugin settings. These scripts are stored and executed when users visit the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 2.7.11 and is limited to multi-site installations or those where unfiltered_html is disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction. No patch or remediation details are currently available.

Potential Impact

An attacker with editor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via plugin settings. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The impact is limited by the requirement for authenticated access with elevated permissions and the specific installation conditions (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled). There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict editor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of the affected plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
