CVE-2026-1796 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the StyleBidet plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.0. The issue arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of the URL path. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser if they interact with a crafted URL. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, no privileges required, but requiring user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability.

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of the victim's browser, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information or session hijacking. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity, with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a malicious link) and does not require authentication.
