What is CVE-2026-105316?

The Magee Shortcodes plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.1.1 is vulnerable due to improper sanitization and escaping of user input in certain AJAX actions. This lack of sanitization allows unauthenticated users to inject malicious scripts, leading to reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. When the payload is executed, it can compromise user sessions, steal sensitive information, or redirect users to malicious sites, highlighting the need for immediate remediation.

Affected Version(s)

Magee Shortcodes 0 <= 2.1.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
