CVE-2026-39799 is a high-severity vulnerability in the WP File Download plugin by Joomunited. It allows unauthenticated attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This affects versions up to and including 6.3.6. The vulnerability can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. No patch or remediation information is provided in the available data.

The WP File Download plugin for WordPress contains an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in all versions up to and including 6.3.9. This flaw allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to perform unauthorized actions such as permanently deleting files, emptying the trash, moving files between categories, and publishing or unpublishing files. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality but impacts integrity and availability of the managed files.

Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in WP Media folder <= 6.2.2 versions.

The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.8 via the 'remoteurl' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access first poisons the _wpfd_file_metadata['file'] post-meta value via the unprotected file.save handler, after which the streaming endpoint — hooked on init with no authentication requirement — resolves and streams the traversed file path to any caller, including unauthenticated visitors.

The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the delete function in all versions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The two-stage exploit requires a first request to the file.save task to persist the path-traversal string into file metadata, followed by a second request to the file.delete task to trigger the unlink call — both endpoints lack capability checks and nonce enforcement.

The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via crafted image src attributes in post content in versions up to, and including, 5.0.11. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the field() and loop() functions, which extract the raw src attribute value from <img> tags within post_content using a regular expression and then reconstruct new <img> elements or CSS background-image declarations by directly concatenating the unescaped value — bypassing WordPress's kses filtering entirely. 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 WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the REQUEST_URI server variable in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.18. When the plugin's `wpmsTemplateRedirect()` hook detects a 404, it concatenates `$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']` with the raw `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` and inserts that value verbatim into the `wp_wpms_links.link_url` column via `$wpdb->insert()`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever an administrator views the plugin's 404 & Redirects admin page (`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=metaseo_broken_link`).

The WP Meta SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.18 via the 'new_link' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services. The HTTP response status from outbound requests is reflected back in the AJAX JSON response as status_code, providing an enumeration oracle usable for probing internal hosts and cloud metadata services.

CVE-2026-9690 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Joomunited WP Media folder Addon versions up to and including 4.0.1. It allows unauthenticated attackers to perform arbitrary file downloads due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (path traversal). This vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges to exploit and impacts confidentiality without affecting integrity or availability.

The WP Table Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on thewptm_getFolders AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read arbitrary file names and directories.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in JoomUnited WP Meta SEO wp-meta-seo allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Meta SEO: from n/a through <= 4.5.13.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in JoomUnited WP Meta SEO wp-meta-seo allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Meta SEO: from n/a through <= 4.5.13.

The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.7. This is due to the plugin allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to using that value in a call to do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
