CVE-2026-1912 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Citations tools WordPress plugin (versions up to 0.3.2). The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and escaping of the 'code' parameter in the 'ctdoi' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected content. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages via the 'code' parameter. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Citations tools plugin if possible. Implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input may provide temporary mitigation. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
