CVE-2026-105316
The Magee Shortcodes WordPress plugin through 2.1.1 does not sanitise and escape user input in some of its AJAX actions, which are available to unauthenticated users, before reflecting it back in the response, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
