CVE-2026-3996 (GCVE-0-2026-3996)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-03-21 03:26 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:58

Title
WP Games Embed <= 0.1beta - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes
Summary
The WP Games Embed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the [game] shortcode in all versions up to and including 0.1beta. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes such as 'width', 'height', 'src', 'title', 'description', 'game_url', 'main', and 'thumb', which are all directly concatenated into HTML output without any 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.

CVE-2023-5708 (GCVE-0-2023-5708)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-11-22 15:33 – Updated: 2026-04-08 17:27
VLAI
Title
WP Post Columns <= 2.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
Summary
The WP Post Columns plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'column' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Severity
6.4 (Medium)
CWE
- CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Assigner
