Published: Wed Feb 04 2026 (02/04/2026, 08:25:29 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: rtddev
Product: Extended Random Number Generator

Description

The Extended Random Number Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-0681 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Extended Random Number Generator plugin for WordPress. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject arbitrary scripts via plugin settings. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.1 and is limited to multi-site installations or installations where unfiltered_html is disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium impact with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges and specific WordPress configurations (multi-site or unfiltered_html disabled). There are no known exploits in the wild.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. As a temporary mitigation, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or avoiding use of the Extended Random Number Generator plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled until a fix is released.
