CVE-2026-1570: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in dannycarlton Simple Bible Verse via Shortcode
The Simple Bible Verse via Shortcode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `verse` 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-2026-1570 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Simple Bible Verse via Shortcode WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.1). The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'verse' shortcode attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary JavaScript. This script executes in the context of any user visiting the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability is confirmed and published with 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). No patch or official remediation has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to the execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of users viewing the page, potentially compromising user sessions and data confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not affect availability. The scope is changed (S:C) indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the attacker’s privileges.
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 disabling or removing the Simple Bible Verse via Shortcode plugin to prevent exploitation. Avoid using the vulnerable shortcode with untrusted input.
