CVE-2026-1611: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jmrukkers Wikiloops Track Player
The Wikiloops Track Player plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `wikiloops` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1 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-2026-1611 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Wikiloops Track Player WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.1). The issue arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'wikiloops' shortcode attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. This code executes in the context of any user viewing the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability is confirmed 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 vendor advisory is currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure (such as session tokens) and limited integrity impact. There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity at a low level but can facilitate further attacks if exploited.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation has been published by the vendor as of now. Administrators should restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Wikiloops Track Player plugin until a fix is available. Monitor vendor channels for updates or security advisories providing an official fix or mitigation guidance. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
