CVE-2026-2718: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in dealia Dealia – Request a quote
The Dealia – Request a Quote plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Gutenberg block attributes in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This is due to the use of `wp_kses()` for output escaping within HTML attribute contexts where `esc_attr()` is required. 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-2026-2718 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Dealia – Request a Quote WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.0.8. The root cause is improper output escaping: the plugin uses wp_kses() where esc_attr() is required for HTML attribute contexts in Gutenberg block attributes. This allows authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes when the affected page is viewed. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (medium severity). No patch or remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts into pages via Gutenberg block attributes. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires low attack complexity with no user interaction needed beyond viewing the page.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once released.
