Summary
The All-In-One Security (AIOS) plugin for WordPress up to version 5.4.7 is vulnerable to Stored XSS. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript into the REST request path, which is stored in debug logs. When an admin views the debug log page, the script executes in their browser.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can steal nonces, perform privileged AJAX/REST actions, and potentially compromise the entire WordPress site.
Recommendation
Update the All-In-One Security plugin to version 5.4.8 or later.

- CVE-2026-124494Critical
SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability because the html.clean() sanitizer's _normalizeURL() function decodes named entities like : to an empty string. Attackers can inject href values such as javascript: that pass the _isSafeURL() check but are decoded by browsers, executing JavaScript when victims click stored links.
- CVE-2026-124493Critical
SunEditor before 3.4.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the DocumentType constructor that injects header textContent into innerHTML without HTML escaping. Attackers can store entity-encoded HTML in h1-h6 headers that executes JavaScript when editors using document:header mode initialize, enabling session cookie theft.
- CVE-2026-124490Critical
OpenEMR before 8.3.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the RingCentral RCFaxClient disposeDocument() method of oe-module-faxsms that allows authenticated attackers to read and write arbitrary files via the file_path parameter. Attackers can use action=download to read credentials and source code, or action=setup with base64 content to write web-executable files for code execution.
Original NVD description (English source)
The All-In-One Security (AIOS) – Security and Firewall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 5.4.7. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the get_rest_route() function and missing output escaping in the column_default() method of the debug log list table. When the 'Disable REST API for non-logged in users' feature (aiowps_disallow_unauthorized_rest_requests) is enabled alongside debug logging (aiowps_enable_debug), an unauthenticated attacker can embed arbitrary HTML or JavaScript in the REST request path. The path is retrieved via urldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), which decodes URL-encoded payloads into literal HTML characters. This decoded, unsanitized value is concatenated directly into a debug log message and stored in the database. When an administrator navigates to the AIOS Dashboard Debug Logs page, the column_default() method returns the raw database value without escaping, and the parent list table echoes it directly, causing JavaScript execution in the administrator's browser session. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator views the debug log page, enabling nonce theft, privileged AJAX/REST actions, and potential full site compromise.
