What is CVE-2026-5425?

The Widgets for Social Photo Feed plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the 'feed_data' parameter keys. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. Due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, these malicious scripts may execute in the context of users accessing affected pages, leading to potential data theft or session hijacking. Users of the plugin versions up to and including 1.7.9 are strongly advised to upgrade to the latest version, which addresses this serious security flaw.
