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-2026-17005 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Horizontal scrolling announcements. 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-2026-17005/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17005/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17005","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17005/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17005","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6g7j-p76q-h89g"],"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 malicious scripts via announcement settings, leading to stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","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 Horizontal scrolling announcements WordPress plugin through 2.6 does not sanitise and escape one of its announcement settings before outputting it into an attribute context on the front end, allowing users granted access to the announcement management page (Contributor and above, once permitted) to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks that execute in the browser of anyone viewing the announcement.","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":"Horizontal Scrolling Announcements \u003c= 2.6 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Style Field","id":"CVE-2026-17005","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Vulnerabilities in IBM AIX and PowerVM VIOS","id":"CVE-2026-17006"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"IBM i is Affected By Multiple Vulnerabilities in Host Servers","id":"CVE-2026-17004"},"products":["Horizontal scrolling announcements"],"published":"2026-10-04","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":"2026-10-05","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via announcement settings, leading to stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17005/"}
