CVE-2026-1187: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in terrazoom ZoomifyWP Free
The ZoomifyWP Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'filename' parameter of the 'zoomify' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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-2026-1187 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the ZoomifyWP Free WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.1). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'filename' parameter of the 'zoomify' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'filename' parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity loss such as theft of session tokens or unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim user. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the ZoomifyWP Free plugin if possible. Monitor plugin updates from the vendor for a security patch addressing this vulnerability.
