CVE-2026-3639 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The PPWP – Password Protect Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `ppwp` shortcode attributes in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.21 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes.

EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
