What is CVE-2026-120479?

The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping when handling user-generated content in the Data Projects front-end simple form. Specifically, when the plugin displays values from TEXT/TINYTEXT/MEDIUMTEXT/LONGTEXT columns, it only replaces '&' with '&', failing to properly sanitize potentially malicious scripts. Consequently, attackers can inject harmful web scripts that execute whenever an unsuspecting user visits the modified page, compromising site security significantly.

Affected Version(s)
