CVE-2026-92424: CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Content Egg
The Content Egg WordPress plugin before 11.9.0 does not verify that a user running its bulk content-import feature is authorized for the import preset they select, and switches to the preset author's identity before creating the resulting post, allowing users with contributor-level access and above to store arbitrary web scripts unfiltered under a privileged user's account, executing in the context of anyone who later views that content.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-92424 describes a CWE-79 Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the Content Egg WordPress plugin prior to version 11.9.0. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not verify that a user initiating the bulk content-import feature is authorized to use the selected import preset. Consequently, the plugin impersonates the preset author when creating posts, allowing users with contributor-level access or above to inject unfiltered arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the security context of the privileged user account associated with the preset author when other users view the content.
Potential Impact
This vulnerability enables users with contributor-level permissions or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute with the privileges of a more privileged user account. This could lead to unauthorized actions performed on behalf of the privileged user, potentially compromising site integrity or user data. However, there is no indication of active exploitation in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Content Egg version 11.9.0. Users should upgrade to version 11.9.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users and avoid using the bulk content-import feature with untrusted presets.
