CVE-2026-2288: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in silvercover myLinksDump
The myLinksDump plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'link_title' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2288 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the myLinksDump plugin for WordPress. The flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'link_title' parameter, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.6 and is limited to multi-site installations or those with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.8, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, and user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No vendor patch or official remediation has been published.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. This could lead to theft of sensitive information or session hijacking. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity, with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability only affects multi-site WordPress setups or installations with unfiltered_html disabled, narrowing the affected user base.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the myLinksDump plugin in multi-site or unfiltered_html-disabled environments. Monitor official silvercover or WordPress security advisories for updates.
