Published: Wed Jan 14 2026 (01/14/2026, 06:40:05 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: dfieldfl
Product: WP Allowed Hosts

Description

The WP Allowed Hosts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'allowed-hosts' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access 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

CVE-2026-0734 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Allowed Hosts plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.0.8. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'allowed-hosts' parameter, enabling authenticated administrators to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users visiting the affected pages. This vulnerability is limited to multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled, requiring high privileges to exploit and no user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with low severity impact.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure within the affected WordPress multi-site environment. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. Exploitation requires high privileges and is not known to be exploited 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. Until a fix is released, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP Allowed Hosts plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Implementing additional web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious input may provide temporary mitigation. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
