CVE-2026-6256 May 12, 07:48 MEDIUM This Month

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Credits Shortcode WordPress plugin up to version 1.2 allows authenticated contributors and above to inject arbitrary JavaScript via the 'link' attribute of the credits shortcode, which executes when other users view affected pages. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes. CVSS 6.4 reflects moderate risk with network vector and limited scope impact, though real-world risk depends on site contributor population and user awareness.
