VulnerabilityCVE-2026-8627cvecve-2026-8627cwe-79
Published: Wed May 20 2026 (05/20/2026, 01:25:48 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: lykich
Product: Correct Prices

Description

The Correct Prices plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable in versions up to and including 1.0. This is due to the correct_prices_page() function echoing $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] into a form's action attribute without any input sanitization or output escaping (such as esc_url() or esc_attr()). Because PHP_SELF reflects attacker-controlled path-info appended to the script URL, an attacker can break out of the attribute and inject arbitrary markup. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a specially crafted link.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-8627 is a reflected XSS vulnerability in the Correct Prices WordPress plugin (lykich) versions up to 1.0. The vulnerability arises because the correct_prices_page() function echoes the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable directly into a form's action attribute without sanitization or escaping. Since PHP_SELF reflects attacker-controlled path information, an attacker can inject malicious markup by breaking out of the attribute context. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of a victim's browser if the victim clicks a crafted link.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation can lead to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the affected site for users who click on a maliciously crafted URL. This can result in theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not require authentication and affects the confidentiality and integrity of user interactions with the site. There is no indication of impact to availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, users should avoid clicking suspicious links that target the affected plugin. Site administrators may consider temporarily disabling the plugin or applying manual code sanitization and escaping of the PHP_SELF variable in the plugin source code to mitigate the risk.
