This is due to insufficient input sanitization of user-supplied URL fields and improper output escaping when rendering user profile data in badge widgets. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that will execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the affected badge widget.","published":"2026-04-09T05:16:05.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:59:35.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.4,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00234,"percentile":0.14249,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%).
