CVE-2026-42652: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpeverest User Registration
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in wpeverest User Registration user-registration allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects User Registration: from n/a through <= 5.1.5.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The wpeverest User Registration plugin versions up to 5.1.5 suffer from an improper neutralization of input during web page generation, leading to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This flaw allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser when the crafted input is reflected in the web page. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without privileges but requires user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a low level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website, potentially leading to information disclosure, session hijacking, or other client-side impacts. The reflected nature means the attack requires a victim to interact with a crafted link or input. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should exercise caution with untrusted input and consider implementing web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block reflected XSS attempts. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
