Published: 07/11/2026 (07/11/2026, 06:50:33 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: robin-w
Product: bbp style pack

Description

The bbp Style Pack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 6.4.5 via the Topic Form Additional Fields feature. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in bsp_topic_fields_form_save() (which writes $_POST['bsp_topic_fields_label{n}'] directly to post meta via update_post_meta() with no filtering) and missing output escaping in bsp_topic_content_append_topic_fields() (which concatenates the stored meta value into an HTML <span> and echoes it via apply_filters/echo without esc_html()). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above (who have bbPress topic-creation privileges), to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, including unauthenticated visitors.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-15010 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the bbp Style Pack WordPress plugin (up to version 6.4.5). The issue is due to the function bsp_topic_fields_form_save() writing user-supplied input ($_POST['bsp_topic_fields_label{n}']) directly to post meta without sanitization, and bsp_topic_content_append_topic_fields() outputting this data inside an HTML <span> without escaping. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher who can create bbPress topics can inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of any user visiting the injected page, including unauthenticated visitors. This vulnerability can lead to information disclosure and session hijacking risks.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious JavaScript into bbPress topic pages via the Topic Form Additional Fields. This script executes in the browsers of any visitors to the affected pages, potentially leading to credential theft, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed in the context of the victim's browser. The vulnerability does not affect availability but impacts confidentiality and integrity.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict topic creation privileges to trusted users only and consider disabling the Topic Form Additional Fields feature if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
