Description

CVE-2026-16069 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Brizy WordPress plugin before version 2.8.19. It occurs because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape featured-image focal-point coordinates submitted via an AJAX action. This flaw allows users with Contributor role or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of higher-privileged users who open the affected post for review.
