CVE-2026-6041 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Buzz Comments WordPress plugin (versions up to 0.9.4). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'buzz_comments_avatar_image' setting, enabling authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute upon visiting the plugin settings page. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

An attacker with Administrator-level access can inject persistent malicious scripts into the plugin settings page. This can lead to partial compromise of confidentiality and integrity of data viewed or managed through the plugin settings. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability does not affect unauthenticated users and requires high privileges to exploit.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Buzz Comments plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
