VulnerabilityCVE-2026-1247cvecve-2026-1247cwe-79
Published: Sat Mar 21 2026 (03/21/2026, 03:26:45 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: seosbg
Product: Survey

Description

The Survey plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin 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 permissions 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

The seosbg Survey WordPress plugin versions up to 1.1 suffer from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts via the plugin's admin settings, which are then stored and executed in the context of users visiting the affected pages. This vulnerability affects multi-site WordPress setups and installations where unfiltered_html is disabled, increasing the risk of script injection and potential session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The CVSS 3.1 score is 4.4, reflecting a medium impact with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and requiring high privileges but no user interaction.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the Survey plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect single-site installations or those with unfiltered_html enabled. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.

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 disabling or removing the Survey plugin in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled. Monitor for vendor updates regarding patches or official fixes.
