CVE-2026-9677
MediumCVSS 4.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk5th percentile — higher than 5% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Shariff for WordPress plugin through version 1.0.11 does not sanitize or escape the shariff_infourl setting before outputting it in the frontend HTML via the generateshariff() function. This allows high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in a multisite setup).
Risk Assessment
An attacker with administrator privileges can inject a malicious JavaScript script that executes in the browsers of other users visiting the site, leading to session theft, defacement, or further attack escalation.
Recommendation
Immediately update the Shariff for WordPress plugin to the latest available version that includes a security fix. If an update is not available, temporarily disable the plugin or restrict access to its settings to trusted administrators only.
