An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-12980 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Post Snippets. 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-2026-12980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12980/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12980","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qq38-mwrv-h27q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Contributors can inject arbitrary scripts via snippet variables, leading to stored XSS when content is viewed.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 Post Snippets  WordPress plugin through 4.2.4 does not properly escape variable values substituted into snippets before outputting them, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when the content is viewed.","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":"Post Snippets \u003c= 4.2.4 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Snippet Variable","id":"CVE-2026-12980","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"CAFEHAUS API \u003c= 1.0.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary User Password Reset","id":"CVE-2026-12981"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"FunnelKit \u003c 3.15.0.6 - Admin+ Arbitrary File Deletion via Path Traversal in Template Importer","id":"CVE-2026-12979"},"products":["Post Snippets"],"published":"2026-10-11","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":"2026-10-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject arbitrary scripts via snippet variables, leading to stored XSS when content is viewed.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12980/"}
