CVE-2026-0743: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in orenhav WP Content Permission
The WP Content Permission plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ohmem-message' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-0743 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Content Permission WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.2). It results from improper neutralization of input in the 'ohmem-message' parameter, enabling authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute upon page access. The vulnerability requires high privileges (administrator or above) and does not involve user interaction to trigger the script execution. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and limited confidentiality and integrity impacts.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable parameter. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as executing unauthorized scripts in the context of users viewing the injected pages. There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider monitoring for unusual administrator activity. Avoid using the vulnerable plugin version if possible.
