CVE-2026-3996 Mar 21, 03:26 MEDIUM This Month

The WP Games Embed WordPress plugin contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to 0.1beta due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of shortcode attributes. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript through shortcode parameters such as 'width', 'height', 'src', 'title', 'description', 'game_url', 'main', and 'thumb', which are directly concatenated into HTML output without escaping. When other users visit pages containing the malicious shortcode, the injected scripts execute in their browsers, potentially allowing session hijacking, credential theft, or malware distribution.
