See all- CVE-2026-75980Medium
The BetterDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Heading 'id' Attribute in Post Content in all versions up to and including 4.8.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

The BetterDocs WordPress plugin before version 4.5.5 does not sanitize an AI-generated documentation summary before storing and outputting it. The feature is exposed to unauthenticated users, allowing them to store a malicious payload via prompt injection that executes in the browser of any visitor, including administrators.
