CVE-2026-2280
Last modified
CVE-2026-2280 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The rexCrawler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.15 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
