CVE-2026-1914: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in jeremyshapiro FuseDesk
The FuseDesk plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's fusedesk_newcase shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'emailtext' attribute. 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-2026-1914 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the FuseDesk WordPress plugin, specifically in the fusedesk_newcase shortcode's 'emailtext' attribute. Authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts due to improper input neutralization and output escaping. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.8. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a network attack vector with low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to the privileges of the affected users. The vulnerability does not impact system availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the fusedesk_newcase shortcode. Monitor official FuseDesk or WordPress plugin channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
