CVE-2026-28561

MEDIUM 4.8EPSS 0.23%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows administrators to inject persistent JavaScript via forum description fields echoed without output escaping across multiple theme template files. On multisite installations or with a compromised admin account, attackers set a forum description containing HTML event handlers that execute when any user views the forum listing.
