Last modified
CVE-2026-0549 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Groups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'groups_group_info' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
