Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3722 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Auto Image Attributes From Filename With Bulk Updater (Add Alt Text, Image Title For Image SEO) WordPress plugin by arunbasillal. The vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 4.9 due to improper neutralization of input in attachment metadata fields. Authenticated users with Author-level or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Author-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts via attachment metadata. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or session tokens. The vulnerability does not impact availability. The medium CVSS score reflects moderate risk due to required privileges and limited impact scope.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation.
