Last modified
CVE-2026-114570 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.9/10 on the CVSS scale. WordPress Core is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Quick Edit in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.2 due to insufficient escaping of user display names. 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 higher privileged user accesses the affected administrative screens. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
