An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-3362 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: itsananderson Short Comment Filter. 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-2026-3362/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-3362/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-3362","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-3362/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-3362","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-39pg-69jq-6vx9"],"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":"Administrators can inject arbitrary scripts via the Minimum Count setting, leading to stored XSS execution on the settings page.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/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 Short Comment Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Minimum Count' settings field in all versions up to and including 2.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization (no sanitize callback on register_setting) and missing output escaping (no esc_attr() on the echoed value in the input's value attribute). The option value is stored via update_option() and rendered unescaped in an HTML attribute context. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in the settings page that will execute whenever a user accesses that page. This is particularly impactful in WordPress multisite installations or when DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML is set, where administrators are not granted the unfiltered_html capability.","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":"Short Comment Filter \u003c= 2.2 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Minimum Count' Setting","id":"CVE-2026-3362","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"InfoSphere Optim Test Data Fabrication is affected by Arbitrary File Read","id":"CVE-2026-3366"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Store Locator \u003c= 2.2.261 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'wpsl_address' Post Meta","id":"CVE-2026-3361"},"products":["Short Comment Filter"],"published":"2026-04-22","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["itsananderson"]},"summary":"Administrators can inject arbitrary scripts via the Minimum Count setting, leading to stored XSS execution on the settings page.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-3362/"}
