CVE-2026-14234: CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in WOLF
The WOLF WordPress plugin before version 1.1.0 contains a vulnerability where it fails to perform nonce or capability checks on one of its AJAX actions. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to exploit a logged-in administrator via a cross-site request to inject arbitrary content, including malicious scripts, into posts. This results in stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14234 describes a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the WOLF WordPress plugin prior to version 1.1.0. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not validate nonces or user capabilities on a specific AJAX action. An attacker can craft a cross-site request that causes a logged-in administrator to unknowingly insert arbitrary content, including malicious JavaScript, into a post, leading to persistent XSS.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of an administrator's browser session. This can lead to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other malicious actions performed with administrator privileges within the WordPress site. The vulnerability requires the victim to be a logged-in administrator who interacts with the attacker's crafted request.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or patch is currently confirmed for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. Until a patch is available, restricting administrator access and avoiding interaction with untrusted sites may reduce risk. Implementing web application firewalls or custom nonce and capability checks on AJAX actions could serve as temporary mitigations.
