CVE-2026-0680: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in vk011 Real Post Slider Lite
The Real Post Slider Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 2.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-0680 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Real Post Slider Lite WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.4). The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary scripts via plugin settings. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. The vulnerability affects multi-site WordPress installations and installations with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4 (medium severity), with attack vector network, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages. This can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity within the affected WordPress environment. The vulnerability does not impact availability. The scope is limited to multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, reducing the overall exposure.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Real Post Slider Lite plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
