Last modified
CVE-2026-1909 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The WaveSurfer-WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's audio shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'src' attribute.

EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
