What is CVE-2026-11371?
The BetterDocs WordPress plugin prior to version 4.5.5 fails to properly sanitize AI-generated documentation summaries. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to exploit the feature by injecting malicious payloads through prompt injection. Once stored, these payloads can execute in the browser of any visitor accessing the affected page, potentially compromising administrators and other users alike.
Affected Version(s)
BetterDocs 4.0.0 < 4.5.5
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
