CVE-2026-88793 Sep 13, 20:06 HIGH POC This Week

Unauthenticated stored XSS in the YouTube Embed WordPress plugin (versions 10.0-10.3) allows any unauthenticated site visitor to inject and persist arbitrary JavaScript in the WordPress database by exploiting an AJAX endpoint that performs no authorization check beyond a nonce embedded in every public-facing page. The stored payload executes in the browser session of any subsequent visitor or administrator who views the affected content, enabling session hijacking, administrative account takeover, or full site compromise. A publicly available exploit exists (reported by WPScan), materially elevating real-world risk for any site running the affected plugin versions.
