An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-123044 in the wild and no public exploit code.\nExposure: Having an affected version installed is enough. The problem is in what it ships or how it installs, so no code has to call it.\n\nAffected product: Unknown ContentPen. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123044/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123044/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-123044","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123044/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-123044","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v973-hgc6-wrfw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","exploitable_when_present":true,"fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","requires_specific_call":false,"summary":"Unauthenticated users can use the exposed ContentPen REST API key to create posts with JavaScript that runs for any visitor, including administrators.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials","vulnerable_functions":[]},"analysis_generated_by":"sbomify/insights-2b-fp8","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The ContentPen WordPress plugin before 1.1.1 discloses its REST API key to unauthenticated users, who can then use it to create posts containing unfiltered JavaScript, leading to Stored XSS that executes in the browser of any visitor, including administrators.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ContentPen \u003c 1.1.1 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS via API Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-123044","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Keycloak admin user password stored in cleartext in a ConfigMap in Eclipse BaSyx Helm Charts","id":"CVE-2026-123047"},"nickname":null,"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"The request-callout plugin in Kong Gateway Enterprise and Kong AI Gateway omits callout headers not sent by the client from its cache key, a","id":"CVE-2026-123041"},"products":["ContentPen"],"published":"2026-11-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-11-12","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated users can use the exposed ContentPen REST API key to create posts with JavaScript that runs for any visitor, including administrators.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-123044/"}
