CVE-2026-115498

Read full description

The Slim Jetpack plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'g<PAGE_ID>-website (Website contact-field)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The nonce and authentication checks on form submission are only enforced for logged-in users, allowing unauthenticated visitors to store payloads via any page containing the [contact-form] shortcode.

Evidence context and dated references

Reality is general threat/review priority, combining observed exploitation, CVSS severity and fresh EPSS. Evidence confidence is separate. This is not calibrated risk, a victim count or an asset-specific assessment. A range reflects missing numeric inputs. Published 3 days ago. Exploitation evidence usually takes weeks to show up: a low reality score can mean there is no data yet, not that the flaw is mild.
