CVE-2026-2424: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in applixir Reward Video Ad for WordPress
The Reward Video Ad for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on plugin settings such as the 'Account ID', 'Message before the video', and color fields. 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2424 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Reward Video Ad for WordPress plugin. The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of input in admin settings fields, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.6. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts into plugin settings, which are then stored and executed in the context of users visiting affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of session tokens or manipulation of page content. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and avoid entering untrusted data into the affected plugin settings fields. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
