CVE-2026-9104: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in dartiss Draft List
The Draft List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Draft Post Title in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The unescaped injection path is triggered specifically when the viewing user lacks edit capabilities, meaning payloads embedded in draft post titles via attribute-breakout techniques execute for unauthenticated users and subscribers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-9104 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Draft List WordPress plugin (up to version 2.6.3). The flaw arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in draft post titles. Authenticated users with author-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, including unauthenticated users and subscribers lacking edit capabilities. The vulnerability is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, allowing attribute-breakout payloads to execute. No official patch or remediation level has been published, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated author-level user to inject malicious scripts into draft post titles that execute in the browsers of other users, including unauthenticated visitors and subscribers. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking limited to the affected site context. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires author-level privileges to inject payloads. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Draft List plugin. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor that address this vulnerability. Avoid relying on generic mitigations as the vulnerability specifically involves insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in draft post titles.
