Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-2902 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Meteor Website Speed Optimization Addon WordPress plugin, specifically in the 'frontend_rewrite' function's handling of the 'WPMETEOR[N]WPMETEOR' placeholder content. Due to improper neutralization of input, unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts that persist and execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages.
