CVE-2026-1841: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in pixelyoursite PixelYourSite – Your smart PIXEL (TAG) & API Manager
The PixelYourSite – Your smart PIXEL (TAG) & API Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'pysTrafficSource' parameter and the 'pys_landing_page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 11.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE-2026-27072 is likely a duplicate of this issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-1841 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the PixelYourSite WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 11.2.0. It arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'pysTrafficSource' and 'pys_landing_page' parameters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, indicating high severity. No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data, and no known exploits have been observed in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables an unauthenticated attacker to perform stored cross-site scripting attacks, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary scripts in users' browsers. This can result in information disclosure or session hijacking but does not impact availability. The CVSS vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and scope change, with low confidentiality and integrity impacts and no availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the affected plugin parameters or applying web application firewall rules to block malicious input targeting 'pysTrafficSource' and 'pys_landing_page'. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.
