CVE-2026-4334
Last modified
CVE-2026-4334 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Shariff Wrapper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'headline' parameter in the [shariff] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.20 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 0.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The Shariff Wrapper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'headline' parameter in the [shariff] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.20 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The vulnerability occurs because the plugin uses a custom wp_kses implementation with permissive allowed HTML tags, and then performs a str_replace operation that injects HTML after sanitization, allowing event handlers to be introduced through the %total placeholder in the style attribute.
