Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-12696 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown wpForo Forum. 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-2026-12696/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12696/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12696","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12696/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12696","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fpc7-m22h-66jv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can inject JavaScript via profile location fields, enabling session hijacking or admin takeover when profiles are viewed.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The wpForo Forum WordPress plugin before 3.1.2 does not sanitize and escape a user profile field before outputting it inside an HTML attribute on the public participant profile page, allowing users with a subscriber-level account to inject JavaScript that executes in the browser of any visitor who views the profile, including a logged-in administrator.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"wpForo Forum \u003c 3.1.2 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS via Profile Location Field","id":"CVE-2026-12696","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"wpForo Forum \u003c 3.1.2 - Subscriber+ Cross-User AI Chat Message Deletion via IDOR","id":"CVE-2026-12697"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"miniOrange 2FA \u003c 6.2.6 - 2FA Bypass via Attacker-Controlled ga_secret","id":"CVE-2026-12695"},"products":["wpForo Forum"],"published":"2026-08-01","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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Subscribers can inject JavaScript via profile location fields, enabling session hijacking or admin takeover when profiles are viewed.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12696/"}
