CVE-2026-95817: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in apasionados DoFollow Case by Case
The DoFollow Case by Case plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Comment moderation delays but does not prevent exploitation — once an administrator approves the visually innocuous comment, the stored payload executes in the browser of every subsequent visitor to the affected post.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-95817 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the DoFollow Case by Case WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.6.0). The flaw is due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of comment content, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. Exploitation requires an administrator to approve the malicious comment, after which the payload executes for all subsequent visitors to the post.
Potential Impact
An attacker can inject persistent malicious scripts into comment content that execute in the browsers of users visiting the affected posts. This can lead to information disclosure or other client-side impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (confidentiality and integrity impacts). There is no direct impact on availability. The vulnerability affects all users who view the injected content after administrator approval.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently documented. Administrators should carefully moderate comments to prevent approval of malicious content. Since comment moderation only delays exploitation, consider disabling comments or using additional input sanitization plugins until an official fix is released. Monitor vendor advisories for updates regarding patches.
