What is CVE-2026-14922?

WP Photo Album Plus is exposed to a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability due to a double-encoding flaw within its photo-comment feature. This issue allows an attacker to exploit the comment submission process by sending a specially crafted HTML-encoded payload. The comment sanitation process uses both wppa_filter_html() and wp_strip_all_tags(). However, wp_strip_all_tags() fails to remove certain encoded HTML elements, permitting potentially harmful scripts to be stored and executed later in the user's browser context.

Affected Version(s)

WP Photo Album Plus 0 < 9.2.04.003

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
