The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin for WordPress has a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'stm_f_s[make]' parameter. This affects all versions up to and including 1.4.128. The flaw allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts that execute when other users view the affected pages. Exploitation requires the Free Listing Submission feature to be enabled, which is on by default in the demo setup wizard configuration.
The JS Help Desk plugin for WordPress up to version 5.0.2 contains a stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the 'jsticket_message' parameter. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator or agent views the affected ticket. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, specifically when the page initializes VenoBox and processes the data-title attribute with jQuery .html().
The Form Maker by 10Web WordPress plugin up to version 1.15.50 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The vulnerability involves crafted parameters that allow unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator views form submissions. Exploitation requires the targeted form to have a File Upload field and manipulation of the disabled_fields parameter to bypass escaping.
The LearnPress – Course Review plugin for WordPress contains a stored DOM-based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'review_title' parameter. This affects all versions up to and including 4.2.2. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator or users access the injected review page. The vulnerability is triggered after an administrator approves the review, although auto-approval configurations may allow earlier execution.
The QODE Wishlist for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'qode_wishlist_for_woocommerce_guests_items' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9 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. This is exploitable by guests because the required wp_rest nonce is publicly emitted to unauthenticated visitors on the /wishlist/ page, and the attacker controls the transient key, meaning the payload is stored site-wide and only requires a victim to open a crafted share URL and click the injected title link. Successful exploitation additionally requires an action by an administrator — the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability on their own.
The Optimole – Optimize Images | Convert WebP & AVIF | CDN & Lazy Load | Image Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.18 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. Exploitation requires the comment to be approved by an administrator and for the affected post to contain at least one iframe or video element (e.g., a core Video block), which is sufficient under default plugin settings where video lazy loading is enabled.
The Pie Register – User Registration, Profiles & Content Restriction plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'first_name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.4.16 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. This is exploitable when public registration is enabled and the registration form includes a Profile Picture field; the attacker registers via the publicly accessible form (nonce is emitted to unauthenticated visitors) to store the payload, then logs in as the newly created Subscriber to post a comment that triggers delivery to all page visitors.
The Active Woot Products Tables for WooCommerce. 100% FREE WordPress plugin up to version 2.1.5 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete media library attachments and their files. This occurs because the AJAX handler 'get_table_data()' lacks nonce verification and capability checks, enabling attackers to supply crafted parameters to trigger deletion of media files by numeric attachment ID. Files outside the uploads directory cannot be deleted via this vulnerability.
The Optimole – Optimize Images | Convert WebP & AVIF | CDN & Lazy Load | Image Optimization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 's (missing_srcsets[*][*].s)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.18 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. The HMAC signature required to pass the REST endpoint's authorization check is published in plaintext to unauthenticated visitors inside the inline optimoleDataOptimizer JavaScript object on any page with an incomplete profile, making the effective authentication barrier nonexistent.
The Printcart Store – Web to Print Product Designer for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress contains a critical arbitrary file upload vulnerability in versions up to and including 2.13.2. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to upload attacker-controlled PHP files outside the uploads directory via a vulnerable AJAX handler when a specific site option is enabled. Exploitation leads to remote code execution.
In October 2026, the financially motivated threat actor Storm-3358 began targeting financial organizations primarily in Southeast Asia and globally using the agentic AI offensive framework ARTEX. ARTEX automates scanning, exploitation of vulnerabilities such as anonymous file upload and SSRF, and deployment of open-source remote access trojans (RATs) for persistence and lateral movement. The framework also performs credential compromise, brute-force attacks, API abuse, and data exfiltration at machine speed. Microsoft recommends detection through behavioral signals, network traffic characteristics, and deploying defensive honeypots, decoys, tarpits, and fake wins to mitigate attacks. Microsoft security products integrate detections and investigative context to help defend against these AI-accelerated attacks.
The iubenda | All-in-one Compliance for GDPR / CCPA Cookie Consent + more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 3.13.6. This is due to the way iubendaParser::parse_comments() re-processes HTML inside IUB-COOKIE-BLOCK markers through the bundled simple_html_dom parser after WordPress has already KSES-filtered the saved comment: simple_html_dom's remove_noise() stores <code> bodies under a deterministic key ('___noise___ 1000') and restore_noise() later substitutes any matching substring back into attribute values WITHOUT re-escaping, allowing a quote-breaking payload stashed in an allowed <code> element to be injected into an allowed <abbr title="___noise___ 1000"> attribute at render time. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page, after an administrator approves the first (otherwise moderated) comment under WordPress's default comment_previously_approved setting.
The Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'url (comment_author_url)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 13.2.2 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. Exploitation requires the affected page to be configured with a GreenShift Interaction Layer attach-attribute action that copies a comment-author anchor's href into a Counter block's data-prefix or data-postfix attribute; given that configuration, the payload executes for every visitor who loads the Counter into the viewport once the comment is published.
The MotoPress Appointment Booking Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2.4.8 via the public '/motopress/appointment/v1/customers/create' REST endpoint. The route is registered with permission_callback => '__return_true' and the handler's 'name' parameter is not sanitized before being written to the custom wp_mpa_customers table via $wpdb->insert, nor is it escaped on output in the admin bookings list when the viewing user lacks the 'mpa_edit_customer' capability (such as the plugin-defined Appointment Employee role). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Kubio AI Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment (review body)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Successful exploitation requires the attacker's review containing the payload to be approved, either automatically (due to a previously approved review from the same account) or manually by an administrator, and the active single-product template must use a Kubio-rendered wp:post-content block.
The Flying Images: Optimize and Lazy Load Images for Faster Page Speed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.15 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. A first-time commenter's submission requires a single administrator approval under the default comment_previously_approved setting; however, once approved, all subsequent comments from the same name and email pair bypass moderation, and the injected script executes for every visitor — including administrators viewing the post from the front end.
The FV Flowplayer Video Player plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'comment' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.5.56.7212 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. This requires the 'Parse Vimeo and YouTube links' option to be enabled, and the injected comment must be approved before the script executes for site visitors.
The Interactive Real Estate – Floor Plan & Building Visualizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.0 via the extract_zip_data function. This is due to missing capability check, nonce verification, and file extension or MIME type validation before copying attacker-supplied ZIP members to the uploads directory. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. This vulnerability is only exploitable on sites where the plugin's Freemius Premium license or trial is active, as the sole gate in the handler is a site-level license check rather than a per-user capability check.
