7th percentile - higher than 7% of all known CVEs

Summary

The Joli Table Of Contents WordPress plugin before version 2.8.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings before outputting them in an admin page. This could allow high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, for example in a multisite setup.

Risk Assessment

The organization is exposed to persistent XSS attacks, potentially leading to admin session hijacking, data theft, or page content modification.

Recommendation

Update the Joli Table Of Contents plugin to version 2.8.1 or later and restrict administrator privileges in multisite environments.

Other vulnerabilities in Joli Table Of Contents

CVE-2026-84931Medium
The Joli Table Of Contents WordPress plugin before version 3.0.3 does not sanitise or escape a shortcode attribute value before outputting it inside an HTML element's attribute, allowing users with the Author role and above to inject arbitrary HTML attributes and JavaScript that execute in the browser of any user who views the post, including higher-privileged users such as administrators. This crosses a privilege boundary even on multisite, where such users are not permitted to post unfiltered HTML.
