An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16591 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Directory Kit. 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-2026-16591/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16591/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16591","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16591/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16591","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x75g-w554-rmfv"],"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":"Attackers with listing-management roles can inject malicious scripts via category and location fields, executing code for site visitors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/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 WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8 does not sanitize and escape some of its category and location fields before outputting them in page attributes, allowing users with a WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.8-specific listing-management role (and without the unfiltered_html capability) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute for any visitor of the affected page.","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":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.8 - Listing Admin+ Stored XSS via Category and Location Title and Icon Fields","id":"CVE-2026-16591","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.5.7 - Contributor+ Non-Public Listing Field Disclosure via Shortcodes","id":"CVE-2026-16592"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Subscriber+ Contact Message and User Data Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16590"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2026-09-26","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":"2026-09-26","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers with listing-management roles can inject malicious scripts via category and location fields, executing code for site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16591/"}
