Published: 06/29/2026 (06/29/2026, 06:00:01 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Product: APCu Manager

Description

The APCu Manager WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 does not escape APCu object-cache keys before rendering them in an admin-area page, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability. When a persistent object cache is enabled, cache keys derived from unsanitised user input (e.g. a transient name created by another APCu Manager WordPress plugin before 4.5.0 from an unauthenticated request) are output without escaping and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the session of an administrator viewing the page.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-10083 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the APCu Manager WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.5.0. The vulnerability arises from the plugin's failure to escape APCu object-cache keys before rendering them in an admin-area page. When persistent object caching is enabled, an attacker can craft cache keys from unsanitized user input (such as transient names created by unauthenticated requests) that are stored and later rendered without proper escaping. This allows execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of an administrator's session, potentially leading to session hijacking or other malicious actions.

Potential Impact

An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the browser session of an administrator viewing the affected admin page. This can lead to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other attacks that rely on executing scripts in the administrator's context. The vulnerability requires that persistent object caching is enabled and that an attacker can influence cache keys stored by the plugin.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should consider disabling persistent object caching or avoid using the APCu Manager plugin versions prior to 4.5.0. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor is recommended to apply an official fix once released.
