Source: CVE Database V5
Product: Blog Floating Button

Description

CVE-2026-15383 is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Blog Floating Button WordPress plugin up to version 1.4.20. The plugin fails to sanitize or escape the visitor User-Agent header, which is stored via an unauthenticated tracking REST endpoint and later rendered unescaped in an administrator report page. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of any administrator viewing the report, potentially leading to site takeover.

Technical Analysis

The Blog Floating Button WordPress plugin through version 1.4.20 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) vulnerability. It does not properly sanitize or escape the User-Agent HTTP header submitted by visitors. This header is stored through an unauthenticated REST endpoint used for tracking and is later displayed without escaping in an administrator report page. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a malicious User-Agent string, which gets stored and then executed in the browser session of any administrator who views the report page, enabling script execution and potential site compromise.

Potential Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious JavaScript that executes in the context of an administrator's session when they view the access report page. This can lead to site takeover by allowing the attacker to perform actions with administrator privileges.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should avoid viewing the affected report page or restrict access to trusted users only. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
