Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-75980 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: wpdevteam BetterDocs – AI Documentation, Knowledge Base, MCP Server, Docs, Wikis, FAQ \u0026 Chatbot. 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-2026-75980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-75980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-75980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-75980/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-75980","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xx89-f47v-hmxp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated contributors can inject arbitrary scripts via heading IDs in BetterDocs, leading to stored XSS execution for other users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 BetterDocs – AI Documentation, Knowledge Base, Docs, Wikis, FAQ with Chatbot plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Heading 'id' Attribute in Post Content in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploit survives wp_kses_post because entity-encoded quotes in a heading id attribute are treated as a single legitimate attribute value at save time; the dangerous payload only materialises after process_content_for_toc() calls html_entity_decode() on the stored content and the broken id is extracted by a lazy regex before being echoed unescaped into the Table of Contents output.","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":"Cross-site scripting in BetterDocs – AI Documentation, Knowledge Base, MCP Server, Docs, Wikis, FAQ \u0026 Chatbot","id":"CVE-2026-75980","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation","id":"CVE-2026-75981"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"xianrendzw EasyReport SQL Preview Endpoint DesignerController.java previewSqlText special elements in template engine","id":"CVE-2026-75979"},"products":["BetterDocs – AI Documentation, Knowledge Base, MCP Server, Docs, Wikis, FAQ \u0026 Chatbot"],"published":"2026-09-01","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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-01","vendors":["wpdevteam"]},"summary":"Authenticated contributors can inject arbitrary scripts via heading IDs in BetterDocs, leading to stored XSS execution for other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-75980/"}
