The problem is a typical CWE\u201179 vulnerability that lets attackers inject arbitrary JavaScript which will run in the browsers of any user who views the affected page. This can lead to theft of session cookies, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The risk is limited to the context of the WordPress site where the plugin is installed, but it can be leveraged to compromise all visitors who access the injected content.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, and the advisory is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The flaw requires the attacker to have at least contributor\u2011level authentication, meaning the attacker must log in with a WordPress account that has permission to add or edit snippets. Once authenticated, the attacker can embed malicious code that will execute in the browsers of all users who open the injected page. Because it is an authenticated attack vector, mitigation through role management or strict permission handling can reduce exploitation risk, but the most secure remedy is to patch or remove the vulnerable plugin."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-22T09:45:13.082797+00:00", "title": "Text Snippets 0.0.1 Stored XSS via \u2019w\u2019 Shortcode Attribute", "updated": "2026-04-22T09:45:13.082807+00:00", "vendors": []}
